Vietti Barolo Castiglione 2020

From the rolling hills of Piedmont in north-west Italy, Vietti is one of the most respected names in Barolo. Founded in the late 19th century in Castiglione Falletto, the family-run estate has become renowned for combining tradition with innovation, producing wines of both authenticity and finesse. Their ‘Castiglione’ Barolo is crafted from multiple top vineyards, reflecting the breadth and complexity of the region.

Wine Description

This 100% Nebbiolo displays a bright ruby hue with garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals an expressive bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, plum, rose petals, and violets, layered with earthy notes, leather, and hints of tobacco. The palate is structured yet vibrant, with firm, powdery tannins, lively acidity, and flavours of sour cherry, dark fruit, balsamic spice, and tar. Medium-to-full bodied, it finishes long and persistent, showing balance and elegance.
