Note di degustazione
The 2013 Barolo Enrico VI is a dark and opulent expression of Nebbiolo with a soft and contemporary approach. The wine is redolent of black cherry, dried raspberry, grilled herb, smoke and tar. Each aroma peels back in a thick and succulent layer. The quality of fruit offered here is frank and generous. Although the wine will certainly benefit from a long bottle evolution, it also shows immediate qualities for medium-term drinking.

The 2013 Barolo Enrico VI is fabulous. The deeply spiced bouquet, firm spine of tannin and dark fruit are all signatures of this renowned Castiglione Falletto site. Explosive and powerful yet very much medium-bodied in build, the 2013 exudes pedigree. Succulent black cherry, menthol, licorice, cedar and new leather add the final shades of nuance. This is one of the best young versions of the Enrico VI I can remember tasting.
Castiglione Falletto. From the Villero vineyard. First eight months aged in barriques of which 80% new, then aged in large oak casks for 12 months, immediately bottled and aged for a further two years. Beautiful deep ruby with orange tinges. Gorgeous nose of ripe red fruit and oak. Very embryonic and closed on the palate. Fantastic underlying grainy tannins. Firm, lasting grip of tannins that is quite dominant on the finish, but the aromatic persistence and fresh acidity give it life and length. Tannins need to settle. (WS)
