Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate The estate’s 2003 Barolo Castiglione possesses superb balance in its expression of sweet red cherries, spices and flowers. It is one of the more accessible Barolos of the vintage and should drink well over the next decade or so. In 2003, the Castiglione benefits from the addition of the fruit from the Villero vineyard as Vietti decided not to bottle its Riserva. The Castiglione remains one of the best relative values in Piedmont. It is a multi-commune blend made from an assortment of plots which are considered too small and therefore impractical to vinify separately. In most years the core of the wine is composed of Bric del Fiasc, Fossati/Case Nere, Bussia, Ravera and Villero (when there is no Riserva). Anticipated maturity: '07 - '17. |
