| History |
Rocche di Castiglione is a beautiful narrow vineyard on top of the “Rocche”, whose meaning is “cliffs”. The original rock is extremely close to the surface, the sedimentary soil is not deep, instead, it is thin and loose. During the warmest seasons, the plants really suffer from water shortage. |
| Origin |
Castiglione Falletto (Asti). |
| Climate |
Altitude: 250 m. a.s.l. Exposure: South-East. |
| Vinification |
After careful vine growing, grapes are selected and sorted, both in the vineyard and the wine factory, followed by gentle destemming and crushing. Malolactic fermentation takes place in December. |
| Ageing |
100% in 20-hectoliter French oak barrels for 30 months. Bottling takes place at the end of the summer, with a further year of bottle ageing before marketing. |
