2018 Vietti Barolo Castiglione Producer: Vietti Wine: Barolo Castiglione Vintage: 2018 Region: Piedmont, Italy Appellation: Barolo DOCG Quantity: 3 bottles × 75 cl Vietti is one of Piedmont's most celebrated wineries and has played a pivotal role in establishing Barolo among the world's greatest fine wines. Combining generations of tradition with meticulous vineyard management and modern precision in the cellar, the estate produces wines that faithfully express the character of the Langhe's exceptional terroirs. The Barolo Castiglione is Vietti's flagship "classic" Barolo, crafted from a selection of vineyards located across some of the appellation's finest communes, including Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d'Alba, Barolo, Novello, and Serralunga d'Alba. This multi-vineyard approach results in a wine that beautifully captures the essence of Barolo while remaining approachable in its youth. The 2018 vintage is noted for its elegance, freshness, and balance. The wine reveals an expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild berries, rose petals, dried herbs, sweet spices, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, it is refined and harmonious, supported by silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and impressive depth. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and beautifully persistent, offering both immediate enjoyment and excellent ageing potential. The bottle(s) have been carefully stored under professional cellar conditions to preserve their quality and provenance. Labels, capsules, and fill levels are in excellent condition, as shown in the photographs. Important shipping note: Due to the currently very high summer temperatures across many regions, shipment may be postponed until weather conditions are more suitable. This precaution is taken to ensure the wines travel safely and arrive in the best possible condition. An excellent opportunity to acquire one of the benchmark Barolos from one of Italy's most respected producers, combining outstanding provenance, remarkable drinkability, and the classic elegance for which Vietti is renowned.
