Score 97/100 · Drink 2027-2048, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jun 2025

One of my favorites is the Ceretto 2021 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione. I love fruit from the site because of the mineral qualities that give its wines unique focus. This vintage is a prime example of the tension and energy that you get in Castiglione Falletto. Background tones of sambuca, cola, aniseed and dried flower make the bouquet all the more interesting. This is a cool slope with southeastern exposures and loose soils in which the mother rock is sometimes exposed. Surrounded by forests, it is extremely steep, even "violently steep," as described by the winery, "holding on by a miracle."

The 2021 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is such a classy wine. Kirsch, mint, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, incense and dried herbs build beautifully. The 2021 possesses striking inner perfume and exceptional balance. Ripe, silky tannins pull it all together in the finish. This is a superb expression of Rocche di Castiglione.
