Barale owns half of Castellero Cru, right where Barolo meets Monforte d’Alba and Castiglione Falletto. Intensity meets finesse as soon as the wine pours into the glass with tobacco, porcini broth and pine forest enriched with dark plum, dark cherry notes. It delicately balances force and finesse, showcasing confidence without unnecessary showmanship. Bright cranberry acidity elevates the fleshy ripe peach, charred dark cherry, and savoury Chinato flavours, there is an exotic spice element too. Gentle cherry pith tannins frame the palate and carry energy. Multi-dimensional from start to finish!
Tasting glassware: Zwiesel Giacomo Conterno Sensory
