A wonderful, accessible, and affordable Barolo from Vietti, a 4th generation Piemontese family winemaker. The 2001 Castiglione is made from nebbiolo grapes grown on "both sides" of the Barolo border from vineyards located in Castiglione Falletto, Monfote, Morra, and Novello, thus possessing both a bold richness as well as easy drinkablity at a young age. This brick-hued wine has a powerful bouquet, and a plush, smooth finish. I enjoyed this youthful wine on New Years Eve with Beef with Barolo. Albeisa bottle.
