Castiglione Barolo DOCG 2019 - Vietti x 6

Why the winemaker recommends Vietti Barolo DOCG Castiglione 2019

Vineyards over 45 years old are used, no filtration and clarifications. Vegan certified; it is difficult to think that such a long-lived Barolo DOCG wine could surprise with its brilliance and liveliness. Everything in balance, everything in its place. Right acidity as opposed to flavor. Just the right tannin, not bulky but which defines it and marks it with its peculiarities. It is difficult to define the smells that follow one another as it remains in the glass. But it's also really difficult to make it stay in the glass. Wine to be left in the cellar for 10 years or more.

Characteristics of the Barolo Castiglione di Vietti wine

The wine presents a classic ruby with garnet reflections on the nose and is intense with an ethereal elegance. Hints of dried roses and violets, red fruits, sweet liquorice, tobacco, leather, spices and undergrowth make up a complex, fine and persistent bouquet. The Barolo Castiglione di Vietti wine is warm, tasty and has a good structure in the mouth. The tannin is present and not bulky but defines it and marks it with its peculiarities.

Vietti winery

Each wine is the result of artisanal work, understanding and interpretation of each individual terroir hence the Masseria in Barbaresco, Scarrone and Vigna Vecchia in Barbera d'Alba, La Crena in Barbera d'Asti.

Vietti is thus the place where the intelligence of the hands, applied in the vineyard and in the cellar, meets vision.
