Classic Nebbiolo robe in translucent purple with characteristic brick-red reflections at the edge of the glass - a visual harbinger of the elegance that is to follow.<\/p>\n
Vietti's 2017 Castiglione is a prime example of the delicate Barolo style. The nose seduces with a refined bouquet of bright red berries<\/strong>, Rose petals<\/strong> and Rose hip<\/strong>. Cedar wood and cinnamon lend spicy depth, while more complex notes of Incense<\/strong>, Marzipan<\/strong> and Latte<\/strong> unfold - an olfactory kaleidoscope of Piedmontese finesse.<\/p>\n The true class of this multi-cru Barolo is revealed on the palate: finesse and complexity in perfect balance. The still youthfully demanding tannin and acidity structure is skilfully cushioned by a fine fruit sweetness. A wine of remarkable lightness despite its 14.5% alcohol - almost weightless in its elegance, but never superficial.<\/p>\n This Barolo combines grapes from eight different communes throughout the region, from 10 to 45-year-old vines on characteristic limestone marl soils. The traditional vinification with 24 days of maceration and 30 months of ageing in large wooden barrels without fining or filtration emphasises Vietti's philosophy of authenticity.<\/p>\n Classic pairings succeed with Veal cutlet with truffled fennel<\/strong> or Black pudding ravioli with apples<\/strong>. Surprisingly harmonious also with Red cabbage salad with walnut oil and pear<\/strong> - proof of the versatility of this elegant Barolo.<\/p>\n Die Magnum-Flasche verspricht optimale Reifebedingungen f\u00fcr diesen Langstreckenl\u00e4ufer mit betr\u00e4chtlichem Entwicklungspotential. Mindestens zwei Stunden Dekantierung empfohlen \u2013 Geduld wird mit einem Wein belohnt, der seinen Genie\u00dfer in \u201cwundersch\u00f6ne Schwerelosigkeit\u201d versetzt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palate<\/h3>\n
