Comm. G.B. Burlotto's Barolo "Castelletto" is a wine produced by the renowned Burlotto estate, which has a long and prestigious history in the Piedmont region of Italy, particularly known for producing some of the finest Barolo wines. The "Castelletto" refers to a specific vineyard site, or "cru," located in the Monforte d'Alba area within the Barolo DOCG zone. Wines from this vineyard are prized for their power, structure, and aging potential.
Some key characteristics of Barolo Castelletto:
- Grape Variety: 100% Nebbiolo
- Region: Piedmont, Italy (Barolo DOCG)
- Tasting Notes: Expect aromas of red fruits, rose petals, spices, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers a balanced structure with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, allowing for long aging potential. Flavors may include cherry, plum, leather, and hints of tobacco or truffle with age.
- Aging: Barolos typically benefit from several years of aging to soften the tannins and develop more complex secondary and tertiary flavors.
