96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:  The Oddero 2022 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione takes a sharply chiseled approach, a hallmark of this celebrated MGA. Redcurrant, rose and crushed stone define the bouquet, with delicate mineral notes adding focus and precision. Fine-knit tannins frame a slender, linear mouthfeel that emphasizes elegance, with impressive definition and persistence on the finish. This release of 2,600 bottles was fermented spontaneously and aged for 24 months in 21-hectoliter oak casks.

95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:  First produced as a single-vineyard wine by the family in 1982, the 2022 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione pours a jeweled red hue. Aromas of menthol, licorice, pepper, and cherries emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it offers crunchy cherry fruit with remarkable clarity and freshness. The tannins are beautifully defined and carry through a long, balanced finish. The wine was aged in large French oak barrels with no new oak. Drink 2026-2040.

94+ Points - Vinous:  The 2022 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is stellar. It shows the pedigree of this site in spades. Vinification in an oak upright was a benefit in giving the wine mid-palate depth and textural presence not found in most wines in 2022. Dark red cherry fruit, rose petal, dried herbs, licorice and cedar build effortlessly in the glass. The 2022 is an especially somber, intense wine for this site. It is seriously impressive in the early going.
