Weingut Emmerich Knoll Grüner Veltliner Federspiel 2020

The Rocche di Castiglione is made up of 100% Nebbiolo from the single vineyard, Rocche, located within Castiglione Falletto. The vines were planted in spurts in 1940, 1950, and 1968 upon clay-limestone soils with southwestern exposure. The grapes are harvested and gently crushed, then are fermented for approximately 4 weeks in stainless steel with skin contact, providing pre and post fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurs in oak and the wine is aged for around 30 months in Slovenian oak casks. 

Critical Acclaim

96 James Suckling

Charming and enticing with aromas of sweet cherries, strawberries, cedar, dried herbs and some baking spices. Sensational concentration with a vivid center-palate on the full to medium body. The fine and firm tannins are harmoniously balanced by the succulent red currants and crisp acidity.

96 Vinous

The 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a magical wine from a magical site. It marries finesse and volume to a degree that is not found in most of the other wines in this range. Castiglione Falletto is the center of the Barolo production zone, literally and figuratively, the place where many different soil types meet. As a result, the wines often possess mind-blowing balance, which is very much the case here.

96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Vietti 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a very delineated wine with sharp ferrous notes, cherry cola, redcurrant and chalky mineral. It is extremely precise in terms of its aromas. The effect is direct and layered, showing different sides and increasing complexity as it opens in the glass. Dried floral notes, purple flower and iris also appear delicately. The chalky tannins feel abrupt at this young stage, but this wine is built to last nonetheless.
