Barolo Castiglione

The grapes come from several vineyard sites in Castiglione Falletto, La Morra, Barolo, Novello, Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga d’Alba, Verduno and Grinzane Cavour. The soils consist mainly of calcareous marl with varying proportions of clay; the vines are approximately 10 to 45 years old. After hand-harvesting, the wine ferments for around three to four weeks in stainless-steel tanks on the skins, then matures for approximately 24 to 30 months in wood, partly in large casks and partly in barriques. It shows red and dark fruit, notes of roses and spice, fresh acidity, firm, well-integrated tannins and a full body.
