Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo
Ruby with aromas of fresh dark berry fruits, citrus & herb floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and minty flavors, some licorice and cacao, well balanced with young bold tannins. Complex long finish ending with nice earthy notes. Just beginning to be enjoyable now but needs more time.

Jan 8th, 2021Looking so good today; vivid aromatics of rose petal, leather, anise, almond skin and tart red fruit. Tannins are approachable, acidity well integrated & length is okay but perhaps what holds it back but super enjoyable to drink.

Jul 9th, 2019Needs substantial time and/or air but shaping up to be a classic. Naturally the last sip (on day 2) was the best. Gorgeous red fruit, spice, florals and a bit of orange oil. Elegant given time to open up.

May 4th, 2019Surrounded by ripping vintages the 14 is often overlooked but this is a ripper. So lithe and pure. Florality, raw almond, red fruits, slight leather and anise. Lacey tannins and watery acidity. Ripper

Nov 18th, 2018Delicious traditionally-produced Barolo... integrated tannins, well-balanced, tart cherry flavors with violets. Delicious, and enjoyable in its youth.

Oct 27th, 2018Quality Vietti Barolo.. pale red with explosive dried berries and earthy traits. Medium bodied wine that flows around the back of the palate. A total delight to consume with pasta.
