Reseña profesional
The 2020 Rocche di Castiglione from Roagna is a strikingly refined and expressive Barbaresco that captures both the elegance of the vintage and the unmistakable identity of this historic cru. Aromatically, it opens with lifted notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, rose petal, and dried orange peel, layered with hints of anise, sweet spice, crushed stone, and subtle forest floor nuances.
On the palate, the wine is precise and tightly wound, showcasing vibrant acidity and finely grained, chalky tannins. The fruit profile leans toward the red spectrum, supported by savory undertones, herbal accents, and a pronounced mineral core that speaks clearly of the Rocche di Castiglione terroir. Despite its finesse, there is notable depth and structural integrity, suggesting excellent aging potential.
The finish is long, saline, and resonant, marked by floral lift and lingering spice. True to Roagna’s traditional philosophy, this wine prioritizes purity, transparency, and balance over sheer power. The 2020 vintage offers early approachability compared to more austere years, yet it remains a serious, cellar-worthy Barbaresco that will reward patience.
