From the Castellero vineyard and specific plots and sections designed to deliver this revered “cru”. Mid to dark cherry skin colour in the glass sets the tone before an extraordinary fragrance gathers attention with its dark rose purity and bullseye focus that hits right into the heart of this wine. And when it hits comes a spark of genuine excitement driven almost entirely by palate aromatics. The wine remains dark and brooding in one sense, yet energised and buoyant in another, with plenty of drive through the mouth. Every element here is complimentary, making for a complete Barolo experience. And the length: on and on and on.
