Rocche di Castiglione
Rocche di Castiglione is a narrow, highly visible MGA in Castiglione Falletto. As a label term it points to Barolo built around Nebbiolo fragrance, red fruit, mineral detail, and tense but fine tannin. It is especially useful for teaching that Barolo geography can be more detailed than the five main communes and their neighboring villages.
