Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, August 19, 2016 - Vietti tasting with Lorenzo (Castiglione Falletto): My favourite of the Crus. Traditionally made. An expressive, bright red cherry bouquet, quite Pinot Noir-like. On palate, pinpoint precise and vertical. A classic, red fruited Barolo from a cooler year. Some chalk and slate but an austere, tight wine that needs some cellar time to express itself. Seamless and linear in a way that hides the serious fruit depth. Understated and elegant. It reminded me, in a way, of the 2010 Mascarello Monprivato. You could miss how good this wine is.
