VIETTI BAROLO CASTIGLIONE 750 ml

Discover the refined allure of Vietti Barolo Castiglione, a standout red from Italy's Piedmont region. Crafted by Vietti, this wine benefits from the estate's access to ten distinct MGA sites, enabling precise fruit selection across vineyards like Mosconi, Ginestra, Bricco Ravera, and Briccolina. The result captures the essence of the 2018 vintage in a balanced, expressive profile.

Lift a glass to reveal delicate scents of dried roses and violets mingling with ripe red cherries and a subtle whisper of baking spice. These aromas draw you in, promising depth and nuance. As it graces the palate, expect mouthwatering tannins that frame vibrant red fruit notes, alongside hints of dried basil and a faint leather edge. The wine unfolds with tonic freshness and purity, echoing wild berry tones, floral rose, and a metallic hint reminiscent of rusty nail.

Its wild-berry vibrancy and polished tannins make every sip engaging, whether you're exploring Piedmont's treasures for the first time or adding to a cherished collection.
