Winemaking:
Located in the village of Castiglione Falletto, Rocche is one of Barolo’s most famous vineyards. This exceptional cru is small and extremely steep with southeastern exposure. The field is composed of compact clay with some sand. When the grapes reach their ideal ripeness, they are hand harvested with great care. Maceration lasts 20 days at approximately 82° to 84°F in stainless steel, followed by 20 days of fermentation in stainless steel with pump-over.
