Description

2012 Barolo, Rocche di Castiglione, Vietti, PiedmontOf Vietti's new releases, this wine is most definitely the most shut down and less expressive at this young stage. The 2012 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione will require many years of bottle aging before it comes into its own. In general, many of the Barolo protagonists are sluggish in this vintage and this is a common theme. The bouquet moves slowly to release dark fruit, dried cherry, tobacco, grilled herb and pressed blue flowers. The mouth is powerful

Refined and impeccable in its sense of restraint

It is a very good result

The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin

and an excellent layer of freshness that picks things up on the finish and stops it being overly powerful
