2019 Barolo Castelletto
Buying options
Tasting notes
From Monforte, the 2019 Barolo Castelletto comes from a unique vineyard located between Perno and Ginestra and takes on a much different character from the other two vineyards. With notes of licorice, menthol, and red cherry, it is structured, with mouthwatering and tangy acidity, and is more persistent in its approach and has balanced concentration in its long finish. Drink 2025-2045. Only 3,000 bottles were produced.

The 2019 Barolo Castelletto is dazzling in the way it marries fruit density with the dark, balsamic-tinged profile and structural feel that is the signature of wines from Castelletto. Black cherry, plum, mocha, lavender, sage and espresso lend gorgeous nuance. The 2019 is quite rich and yet the tannins - often a challenge here - are handled with real skill. Tremendous.
