Wine Description
The Vietti Barolo Castiglione 2019 offers a classic, rich, and opulent portrayal of one of Piedmont’s most prestigious wines. This full-bodied Barolo boasts an alluring bouquet of dark fruits, including ripe plum, red and black cherries, and a touch of sour cherry. These intense fruit aromas are complemented by the signature notes of rose petals, dried tobacco, and earthy undertones that are characteristic of Barolo’s age-worthy profile. The finish is long and leathery, providing a beautiful sense of elegance and structure.
2019 was a warm vintage in the Barolo region, which started with a dry spring, followed by ample rainfall during the growing season. The hot summer, punctuated by regular rainfall, provided the perfect conditions for the grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness. The September weather allowed for even ripening, resulting in grapes that were not only perfectly ripe but also packed with exceptional intensity and concentration. As a result, the Vietti Barolo Castiglione 2019 is a standout vintage that shows both immediate appeal and strong potential for ageing.
With its combination of rich fruit character, floral elegance, and nuanced complexity, this Barolo is a must-try for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Its excellent structure and well-integrated tannins suggest that it will continue to evolve gracefully over the coming years.

| Winery | The ‘Castiglione’ Barolo is Vietti’s take on Barolo classico. The grapes come from around 20 small yet significant vineyards in the various municipalities of Barolo, where the vines are between 10 and 45 years old. The soils in the Barolo DOCG are some of the world's most ancient and rich in limestone and clay; these old soils impart finesse with fine yet firm tannins and minerality. The overall climate is influenced by the proximity of the Alps, with significant diurnal temperature shifts and cooling downward drafts from the mountains, which builds aromatic complexity and retains natural acidity. The Guyot-trained Nebbiolo vines are planted at an average density of 4,500 per hectare. The diverse nature of each specific vineyard site, each with its own microclimate and soil composition, brings wonderful complexity to the resulting wine. Manually harvested in October. |
