Tasting notes
Scents of woodland berries, violets, dried rose petals, baking spices and Mediterranean herbs emerge from this wine. Crushed Morello cherry, graphite, red raspberry and white pepper all come seamlessly together on the palate alongside invigorating energy and intensity. It shows fantastic aging potential.

Castiglione Falletto. Developed-looking mid ruby with broad orange rim. Very closed with notes of iron and orange peel. Ripe fruit that is still a little monolithic while the acidity seems almost absorbed. A finely grainy textured wine with a very slow, long, fragrant finish.

Castiglione Falletto. Riper and fruitier than their Cannubi. Still has the signature floral fragrance, but there is even more on the palate – perfume, chocolate, violets, and tar – the whole nine yards of Barolo. Fantastic. (RH)
