Barolo Scarrone Vigna Rocche Rivera 2020

The Barolo DOCG Scarrone Vigna Rocche Rivera by the esteemed Figli Luigi Oddero estate (La Morra) stands as a majestic, deeply traditional expression of Castiglione Falletto. Sourced from a prized 3.00-hectare southern-exposed 'surì' perched at 350 meters above sea level right beneath the historic castle walls, this wine is rooted in classic Helvetian soils of blue-gray marl interleaved with clay and sand lenses. With a limited annual production of approximately 9,000 bottles, Vigna Rocche Rivera perfectly merges the structural power and mineral depth of Castiglione Falletto with timeless, noble grace. Vineyard management adheres to sustainable farming with cover cropping and zero chemical herbicides. Following meticulous hand selection and a 15-to-20-day skin maceration powered by indigenous yeasts, the wine undergoes a patient, classical maturation: 36 months in medium-to-large oak casks followed by an extensive 24 months of bottle refinement prior to release. This 5-year cellar journey yields a Barolo of monumental architecture, supple texture, and extraordinary aging potential.
