Barolo's smallest cru, known as Bricco Rocche is located just outside of Castiglione Falletto, wedged between the vineyards of Villero and Rocche di Castiglione at an altitude of approximately 1,200 feet (350–370 meters). Meaning 'peak of the rock,' Bricco Rocche has been an exclusive monopoly almost entirely owned by the Ceretto family since the early 1970s. The inimitable vineyard site has a southeast-to-southwest exposure and is located in the center of the DOCG Barolo. Vines are grown both organically and biodynamically and the soil comprises of Diano sandstone, silt and clay which are collectively known for producing wines of great balance.
