Medium-intense ruby red color. On the nose, it's explosive, opulent, persuasive, and immediate. Hints of plum, red cherry, ripe black cherry, black cherry, rose petal, and tobacco are evident. On the palate, it's classic, rich, and powerful, with notes of Alpine herbs and a leathery finish. The tannins are already well-integrated.

A graceful wine with cinnamon, earth, strawberries, sweet violets and leesy complexity. There is a lot of fruit depth, with a full body, lifted acidity and dense, ripe, velvety tannins. The finish is polished yet tight. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

The 2021 Barolo Castiglione is a superb entry-level Barolo from Vietti. Rich, deep and layered in the glass, the 2021 offers tons of near- and medium-term appeal. The blend of sites is compelling. Dark red-toned fruit, spice, menthol, and licorice are all beautifully amplified. In 2021, the Castiglione approaches the level of the crus, and that is saying something.
