Vietti Barolo Castiglione

Region: Piemonte, Italy

Vintage: 2018

Bottle size: 75cl

Grape: Nebbiolo

ABV: 14%

Ruby-red color with medium intensity. The nose is explosive, opulent, seductive and striking. Notes of plum, red, ripe black and sour cherries, blackberry, rose petal, and tobacco emerge. On the palate, the flavor is classic, rich and potent, with notes of alpine herbs and a leathery finish. The tannins are well-integrated.

The “Castiglione” Barolo is our expression of classic Barolo. The grapes come from small yet significant vineyards in the various municipalities of the Barolo area, and the vines are between 10 and 45 years old, cultivated using the Guyot system. The average density per hectare is 4.500 plants. Limestone and clay-rich soil. Each individual MGA is vinified and aged separately and in different ways to enhance the characteristics of each “terroir”. Aging: 30 months in large barrels and, for a small portion, in barriques.

It was the end of the 1800s when Carlo Vietti created the Vietti winery in the heart of the Langhe, on the highest point of the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto, in the very same place where it is located today
