Vietti
Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, spices and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with notes of pepper and cinnamon. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy sweet notes. Enjoyable now, a few more years will benefit.

2019 vintage. Medium heavy bod. Tar, earth, dark cherry in the nose. High acidity/tannins painfully evident and only tackling this because some greedy human insisted. Visited easily 15 years too early. Mostly structural currently while the dark fruit tumblers slowly click into place. 10.30.24

Pepper and spice was too much for my taste for Barolo.

Young but already so drinkable. Raspberries and strawberries with massive tannins that will no dount evolve beautifully. Vietti just dont make bad wines...goes against their DNA!

Not a fan. Earthy minerality. Tannins were a bit too grippy. Lacked body and complexity. Tart finish.

Enjoyed this on New Year’s Eve with Jen, Jim and Janet. Great bottle, great company! Cheeses, salumi, bread…deep ripe fruit, not heavy…nice age. Perfect for this time of year! Excellent barolo!

Nebbiolo hits different now that I’ve been. This takes me back. Gorgeous Cru.
