- A classic, rich, and opulent Barolo with seductive notes of plum, red, black, and sour cherry with characteristic rose petals and tobacco through to a leathery finish. 2018 was a cool year, characterised by a rainy start to the season, especially in April, followed by slightly below-average temperatures through the summer. September brought ideal conditions with perfect diurnal temperature swings, which are important for the phenolic ripening of grapes. 2018 resulted in classic and elegant wines.

Each cru was vinified and aged separately to bring out the characteristics of each terroir. After gentle pressing, they must ferment for around three to four weeks in steel tanks with skin contact. This period included pre- and post-ferment maceration involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation took place in oak. The wines spent around 30 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks before being blended and bottled.

| Winery | The ‘Castiglione’ Barolo is Vietti’s take on Barolo classico. The grapes come from around 20 small yet significant vineyards in the various municipalities of Barolo, where the vines are between 10 and 45 years old. The soils in the Barolo DOCG are some of the world's most ancient and rich in limestone and clay; these old soils impart finesse with fine yet firm tannins and minerality. The overall climate is influenced by the proximity of the Alps, with significant diurnal temperature shifts and cooling downward drafts from the mountains, which builds aromatic complexity and retains natural acidity. The Guyot-trained Nebbiolo vines are planted at an average density of 4,500 per hectare. The diverse nature of each specific vineyard site, each with its own microclimate and soil composition, brings wonderful complexity to the resulting wine. Manually harvested in October. |
