Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche

Since 1978

Vigna Le Rocche is the nickname given to the top part of the Falletto vineyard by Bruno Giacosa sometime in the 1990s, later immortalised by Alessandro Masnaghetti in his seminal work in mapping the vineyards and sub- vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco. Three small sections of Falletto are labelled separately in good years, and in the best these become the Le Rocche Riserva.

White label Le Rocche is a more austere and serious expression of the Falletto vineyard, and much tighter and less obvious than its ‘Falletto’ labelled sibling. Structurally this is usually up to a 30-40 year proposition, but even young displays more ironstone, dark fruits and cola but with a similar overall aromatic profile to the Barolo ‘Falletto’.
