Description

According to Alessandro, this vineyard has the highest proportion of limestone in Barolo, and so represents a Serralungan austerity and power (the limestone) married to Monforte’s muscle.  The palate represents this exactly, with a lush overtone of dark fruit, cinched by a belt of fine-grained tannins.  The wine appears both hedonistic and understatedly assertive.  The lick of spicy freshness that defines the vintage rounds out the finish.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 94/100
The 2020 Barolo Castelletto is one of the most closed wines in this range from Veglio. Then again, we are in Monforte. Veins of saline-infused dark fruit, crushed rocks, herbs, mint and coffee open with a bit of coaxing. Nervy, focused tannins wrap it all together in style. I would give the 2020 a few years to soften, as the tannins are quite imposing today. I love the sheer vibrancy here.Drink 2025 - 2038antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)

James Suckling 94/100
Precise, well-composed and spicy with aromas of forest berries, herbs, iron and dried orange peel. It’s medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Rather firm yet it has a juicy core of succulent berries and cherries at the center. Focused finish with a sanguine character to it.Try after 2027james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (February 2024)
