with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity

Pierre Rovani has raved about this wine in the past

resonant finish

In 2016 this was more Vosne in style but in 2015 it’s clearly a Nuits villages but one with a certain refinement

with redcurrant and delicate coffee flavors showing good sweetness and plenty of early appeal

Mauro Veglio, Barolo Castelletto other_regions_italy with an elegantly textural attackI didn't have great luck with these samples of the 2015 Barolo Castelletto. The first bottle had a bit of button mushroom, suggesting maybe an open botte, whereas the second appeared vaguely corked. This wine is aged for 24 months in barrique, 70% of which is neutral. At any rate, this Barolo shows a darkly saturated appearance with a thick fruit intensity. Production is some 6,000 bottles.
