The youthfully red 2020 Barolo Castellero needs a minute to blow off on opening but offers notes of spiced orange, dried cranberries, mint, and pine. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins, a stony texture, even acidity, and a nice finish. Approachable and showing well now, it will drink well over the next 5-6 years.

Fenocchio’s 2020 Barolo Castellero is floral, savory and full of energy. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint and spice meld into a core of dark red cherry/plum fruit. This mid-weight, classy Barolo is all charm. Soft contours add to its immediacy and overall appeal.
