Vietti Castiglione Barolo 2021 is a classic Barolo blend from around 20 carefully selected MGA sites across the Barolo communes, crafted entirely from Nebbiolo to express a poised balance of depth, structure, and elegance. Ruby red of medium intensity, it combines perfumed red fruits, florals, and spice with firm yet refined tannins and long aging potential.

Formerly labeled “Barolo Castiglione,” the 2021 cuvée is a multi‑vineyard blend drawn from numerous small but important plots across Barolo, with vines 10–45 years old rooted in calcareous clay soils, trained Guyot at roughly 4,500 vines per hectare. Each MGA is vinified and aged separately: after a few days of cold maceration and 3–4 weeks total on skins in stainless steel (including pre‑ and post‑ferment maceration, often with submerged cap), the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in wood and then matures about 30 months in large Slavonian and partly in small French oak barrels before blending and bottling, yielding a Barolo that marries traditional structure with polished texture.

Tasting Notes
The 2021 shows luminous ruby to cherry red color with medium transparency and a lifted, expressive nose of sour and ripe cherries, lingonberry and redcurrant, plum, blood orange, rose and violet, along with earth, undergrowth, dry herbs, nutshell, liquorice, mint, and subtle tobacco spice. On the palate it is juicy, cool, and finely etched, with deep red‑berry and stone‑fruit concentration, lively acidity, firm but ripe and chalky tannins, and a rich yet classic Barolo profile that finishes long, fresh, and slightly dry with alpine herb and leathery nuances, already accessible but clearly built for long-term cellaring.

Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16–18°C in a large Bordeaux or Nebbiolo glass, decanting for 2–3 hours in youth to soften tannins and open the bouquet. Drink from around 2027 through the mid‑2040s and beyond, pairing with brasato al Barolo, ossobuco, game, braised beef, truffle risotto, or aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.
