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 traditional style. Before the habit of valuing individual crus or individual vineyards spread, the tradition in the cellars 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, gives refined floral notes, aromas of small red berries, and delicate nuances of tertiary evolution.

Castiglione Barolo is produced by one of the historic names of the Langhe. 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 highlight the differences of the terroir, with labels dedicated to individual crus, but it did not want to abandon the tradition of also making a blended wine, which would represent both tradition and the winery’s style. The ability to choose grapes from different vines, often with different and complementary characteristics, allows, in fact, to create every year a harmonious and balanced wine. Castiglione Barolo is perfect for those who want to know the general character of the great Langhe wines, before delving into the nuances of individual crus.

The Vietti Castiglione Barolo wine comes from grapes from several estate plots, with an average age between 8 and 40 years, enjoying microclimates and soils that are slightly different. Each parcel is vinified separately and only at a later stage are the lots chosen to create 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 olfactory profile recalls scents of dried flowers, small forest berries, spicy nuances and black tea. On the palate it is elegant, with a balanced sip, delicate aromas, a lively and subtle tannic structure. The finish is very persistent and ends with notes of pleasant freshness.
