Antonio Galloni, January 2021, Score: 94
The 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a beautiful wine that captures the natural intensity of the year while maintaining the style of the site. Silky aromatic and wonderfully nuanced the 2017 Rocche di Castiglione has so much to offer. Lavender, rose petal, spice and kirsch are some of the notes that meld together in this open-knit, inviting Barolo from Oddero. Drink 2025-2042.

This is an unexpected knockout from the underdog 2017 vintage. Drawing its fruit from old vines in the magnificent village of Castiglione Falletto, the Oddero 2017 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is perfumed and delicate in a manner that is quite unusual for this challenging and hot vintage. The bouquet is gracefully shaped by delicate aromas of blue flower and dried lilac, and you are presented with limestone or mineral aromas as well. This is one of those wines that demonstrates its complexity with a busy embroidery or interwoven assemble of little aromatic details and embellishments. I just love the way this wine interprets this vintage with those super long-lasting, almost salty notes on the close. Drink 2024-2045.
Region
Piedmont
Piedmont is located in the north western corner of Italy. Though several grape varieties are prominent such as Dolcetto, Barbera and Moscato, it is Nebbiolo that reigns supreme. It produces wines that are not particularly deep in colour, yet they are perfumed, powerful and can age for many years. Due to the ethereal nature of the Nebbiolo grape and the numerous single vineyard wines, many compare top examples to grand cru Burgundies of the Côte de Nuits.Mountainous, its vineyards are cut into the hillsides forming terraces reminiscent of the Mosel Valley in Germany and the northern Rhone Valley in France. The two most notable appellations are Barolo and Barbaresco.
