Note di degustazione
With fruit sourced from various points within the Castiglione Falletto township, the 2012 Barolo Castiglione continues on its promise to offer a solid drinking experience based purely on quality Nebbiolo. This wine speaks more to the specific qualities of Nebbiolo, more than vineyard site. It opens to a dark garnet color with young aromas of cherry and spice. Elegant balsam notes of mint and licorice add a sharper sense of definition. This is a solid-drinking Barolo for the near and medium term.

Concentrated, lacklustre ruby. Really sweet on the nose and on the palate. Not very inspiring or complex. Astringent finish. (WS)
The 2012 Barolo Castiglione is a gorgeous, radiant wine. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, wild flowers and spices all meld together in a sensual Barolo endowed with striking presence and intensity. In 2012, the Castiglione is especially lifted and expressive, with compelling purity and nuance. With time in the glass, the wine freshens up considerably, so aeration is a good idea for readers who want to open the 2012 early. This is an attractive, seriously delicious Barolo from Vietti.
