2022 Vietti, Barolo Monvigliero - Barolo DOCG - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

The Barolo Monvigliero by Vietti is a wine that represents the history of the Langhe territory. It is a great Barolo of tradition. Before the widespread practice of valoriz­ing individual crus or single vineyards, the usual approach of wineries was to produce a blended wine with grapes from various zones. A choice that always guaranteed the possibility of offering balanced and harmonious wines. Thus arises an elegant and intense Barolo, which after more than two years of aging in wood, delivers refined floral notes, aromas of small red berries, and delicate hints of tertiary evolution.

The Castiglione Barolo is produced by one of the historic names of the Langhe. The Vietti winery is located in Castiglione Falletto and owns vineyards in prized Barolo areas, such as Rocche di Castiglione, Lazzarito, Brunate, Ravera, as well as in the Masseria di Barbaresco cru. Vietti was among the first to valoriz e the differences of the territory, with labels dedicated to individual crus, but it did not want to abandon the tradition of also producing a blended wine, which would represent both the tradition and the winery’s style. The ability to choose grapes from different vines, often with different and complementary characteristics, makes it possible to create each year a harmonious and balanced wine. Castiglione Barolo is perfect for those who want to get to know the general character of the great wines of the Langhe before delving into the nuances of the individual crus.

The Vietti Castiglione Barolo wine comes from grapes sourced from several plots of the estate, with an average age of 8 to 40 years, enjoying microclimates and slightly different soils. Each plot is vinified separately and only at a later stage are the lots chosen to form the Castiglione assemblage. Before bottling, the wine matures for about 24 months in large casks and in oak barriques. In the glass it presents a ruby red color with garnet reflections. The aromatic profile recalls scents of dried flowers, small forest berries, spicy hints, and black tea. On the palate it is elegant, with a balanced, delicate aroma, a lively and fine tannic texture. The finish is very persistent and ends with notes of pleasant freshness.
