resonant finish

black olives

velvety tannins that still offer some resistance on the palate

with redcurrant and delicate coffee flavors showing good sweetness and plenty of early appeal

Mauro Veglio, Barolo Castelletto other_regions_italy resonant finishI didn't have great luck with these samples of the 2015 Barolo Castelletto. The first bottle had a bit of button mushroom, suggesting maybe an open botte, whereas the second appeared vaguely corked. This wine is aged for 24 months in barrique, 70% of which is neutral. At any rate, this Barolo shows a darkly saturated appearance with a thick fruit intensity. Production is some 6,000 bottles.
