Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2022

The 2018 Barolo Castelletto is another compelling wine in this range from Manzone. It exudes vertical intensity, not to mention tons of character, right out of the gate. Sweet red/purplish fruit, rose petal, dried herbs lavender, spice and orange zest are some of the many aromas and flavors that emerge gradually over time. Bright Castelletto acids and vibrant tannins round things out nicely. This heady, explosive Barolo has so much going on.

The Manzone 2018 Barolo Castelletto is a robust expression of Nebbiolo with ample texture, dark fruit and plenty of oak toast and spice. The wine needs time to shed some of that extra fruit weight and baby fat, and once it does it will show more pinpoint focus and linearity. Fruit for this full-bodied wine comes from Monforte d'Alba.
