A refined, site expressive Barolo from Vietti, a historic Piedmontese estate founded in 1919 and celebrated for crafting terroir driven Nebbiolo with elegance and precision. Sourced from the Castiglione vineyard in Monforte d’Alba, the 2020 vintage opens with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, dried herbs and subtle spice, layered with hints of forest floor and mineral complexity. On the palate it is structured yet graceful, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish, reflecting both the vineyard’s unique character and Vietti’s meticulous, traditional approach to Barolo. Perfectly balanced for early enjoyment or cellaring.

Always a popular choice, the Vietti 2020 Barolo Castiglione (made with a blend of fruit from multiple MGA sites) has a voluptuous approach with dark fruit, cola, wild berry coulis and smoky tar. The wine wears a hot vintage well, with accessible and powdery tannins for near or medium-term drinking. In terms of texture, the Castiglione has a little more brawn and body compared to your standard Barolo. This is an ample release of 70,000 bottles. 93 Pts, Drink 2025-2038 - Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
