Barolo Rocche di Castiglione Arnaldo Rivera Terre del Barolo Barolo DOCG Rocche di Castiglione ArnaldoRivera Terre del Barolo ArnaldoRivera, Rocche di Castiglione in Castiglione Falletto, Barolo 2013 'From a single, south-east-facing site belonging to the co-operative at 340 m in this astonishing vineyard, perched over cliffs, in the slightly sandier sector, and aged in large new French oak tonneaux. Translucent, glowing red in colour, with scents which combine raspberry, bitter almond and the crystallised violet note typical of fine Cognac. Pure, refined and sustained: a long high-wire walk, pure-fruited yet almondy, too. The faintly bitter asperities add to the refreshing effect.' 94/100 - Dekanter

Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Complex nose of garden herbs and sour cherry with a hint of cedar. Finely grained tannins spiking perfumed, succulent cherry fruit on the palate. Lithe and yet formidable grip on the finish. Needs a year or two to truly open up.' 17.5/20 - Jancis Robinson
