The Vietti 2020 Barolo Castiglione has a voluptuous approach with dark fruit, cola, wild berry coulis and smoky tar. The wine wears a hot vintage well, with accessible and powdery tannins for near or medium-term drinking. In terms of texture, the Castiglione has a little more brawn and body compared to your standard Barolo.
A lean, tightly wound red, with cranberry, sour cherry, licorice, eucalyptus and earth flavors. Fresh and stitched with burly tannins, this leaves a juicy, savory finish.
Ruby-red colour with medium intensity. The nose is explosive, opulent, seductive and striking. Notes of plum, red ripe cherries, blackberry, rosé petal nd tobacco. On the palate, the flavour is classic, rich and potent, with balsamic and slightly spicy notes. The tannins are well integrated.
Barolo is the crowning glory of Italy's Piedmont region and Vietti is one of its finest makers. Vietti's Barolo style is rated as a benchmark in the region, expressing the greatness of the local Nebbiolo grape. Handpicked grapes from Vietti' Castiglione best vineyard parcels rooted in clay and limestone are delicately fermented and barrel aged separately to coax out unique terroir' character. The wine is aged for 30 months in oak even though regulations require just 18 months. Vietti believes in going above and beyond and their Barolo is a shining example of this philosophy. This DOCG wine has been rated 93 points by Robert Parker and dazzles with depth of flavour and layers of cherry, plum, mint and wild earth, cradled by elegant yet firm tannins. Pour this vintage Barolo alongside truffle risotto, pesto sauce pasta and rosemary lamb shanks. This wine is pure Italian royalty and merits pairing with an opulent feast.
