Barolo, Castiglione, 2013

Bright and very fine. The flavours are brilliant, ripe but incisive; they are held in check but tight-knit tannins that have a fine chalkiness to them. The fruit is classical, elegant and crisp offering flavours of pure crystalline fresh red berry and cherry, with touches of wild strawberry and loganberry, finishing on a twist of earth and spice. A beautiful blend of 15 different parcels accross the Barolo area that is aged for 30 months in a mixture of different cask sizes (6 months of which are in barriques.)
