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 the tradition. Before the habit of valuing the individual cru or the single vineyards spread, the wineries’ custom was to produce a blended wine with grapes from various areas. A choice that always guaranteed the possibility of offering balanced and harmonious wines. Thus was born an elegant and intense Barolo, which after more than two years of aging in wood, yields refined floral notes, aromas of small red berries, and delicate nuances 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 zones, such as Rocche di Castiglione, Lazzarito, Brunate, Ravera, as well as in the Masseria di Barbaresco cru. Vietti was among the first to valorizate the differences of the terroir, with labels dedicated to the individual crus, but it did not want to abandon the custom of also making a blended wine, which would represent tradition and also the winery’s style. The ability to choose grapes from different vines, often with diverse and complementary characteristics, allows, indeed, to create each year a harmonious and balanced wine. Barolo Castiglione is perfect for those who want to know the general character of the great wines of the Langhe, before delving into the nuances of the individual crus.

The Vietti Barolo Castiglione wine comes from grapes harvested from diverse estate plots that have an average age between 8 and 40 years and enjoy microclimates and soils that are slightly different. Each plot is vinified separately and only at a later stage are the lots chosen that will 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 ruby red with garnet reflections. The aromatic profile recalls scents of dried flowers, small forest fruits, spicy nuances and black tea. On the palate it is elegant, with a balanced sip, delicate aromas, a lively and fine tannic structure. The finish is very persistent and ends with pleasant freshness."
