{"product_id":"oddero-barolo-rocche-di-castiglione-2022","title":"Oddero Barolo Rocche di Castiglione 2022","description":"\u003cb\u003eBarolo Rocche di Castiglione\u003c\/b\u003e is a fine \u003cb\u003eDOCG\u003c\/b\u003e wine from the cellars of the \u003cb\u003eOddero\u003c\/b\u003e family, which boasts an ancient winemaking tradition dating back to 1878. The \u003cb\u003egrape variety\u003c\/b\u003e from which this excellent, world-renowned wine is produced is the \u003cb\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/b\u003e grape. This dark grape variety, native to \u003cb\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/b\u003e, is characterized by the late ripening of its grapes; in fact, the harvest is delayed until the first ten days of October, during the period characterized by heavy fog, which also seems to be the reason for its name. It is grown in one of the company's oldest vineyards, on a steep, forested terrain 250 meters above sea level. The \u003cb\u003evinification\u003c\/b\u003e process requires particular attention both during the cultivation of the vineyard and during the harvest, which is carried out manually to allow for a double meticulous selection of the bunches: the first takes place during the harvest and the second in the cellar. The grapes are separated from the stalks and subsequently \u003cb\u003epressed\u003c\/b\u003e to obtain the must. \u003cb\u003eAlcoholic fermentation\u003c\/b\u003e occurs naturally as long as the temperature of the must is not too low, generally between 13°C and 17°C. The subsequent \u003cb\u003emaceration\u003c\/b\u003e can last from 10 to 30 days and then the alcoholic fermentation moves on to the \u003cb\u003emolactic\u003c\/b\u003e phase in December. The \u003cb\u003eaging\u003c\/b\u003e of \u003cb\u003eBarolo\u003c\/b\u003e involves fairly long periods: - the initial aging, lasting 2 and a half years, takes place in oak barrels; - the second takes place after bottling, for a further period of one year.","brand":"Oddero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180020646059,"sku":"61806","price":93.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/oddero-barolo-rocche-di-castiglione-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
