VINIFICATION
Traditional method of long maceration: natural fermentation without added yeasts until 40 days in stainless steel tanks
AGEING
6 months in stainless steel tanks, 30 months in large capacity Slavonian oak casks (20-25 hl) and a successive refinement in the bottle
TASTING NOTES
The color is classic intense garnet red clean and of good substance on the nose with floral and fruity notes with bints of liquorice and roots. Wine of character with marked tannins. Velvety and harmonious with notes of sweet spice and jam
The 2021 Barolo Castellero is the most reticent of the 2021s at this address. Red-toned fruit, iron, white pepper, chalk and dried herbs convey tons of earthy, mineral intensity. This tightly wound wine is going to need a number of years to be at its best, but it is pretty impressive today. 94 Points
