  • Wine Advocate, April 2021, Score: 93

    This is one of the most versatile wines to emerge from Italy in recent years. A bread and butter winner for Vietti, the 2017 Barolo Castiglione is sharply contoured and bright, with an excellent quality of fruit that can be described as crisp, tonic and rich. That extra concentration comes in part from the hot vintage; however, the greater Castiglione growing area delivers consistent quality and persistence above all else. Drink 2023-2038.

  • Antonio Galloni, January 2021, Score: 92

    The 2017 Barolo Castiglione is a wild, exotic wine. Super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, tobacco, new leather and rose petal all flesh out in this ample, voluptuous Barolo from Vietti. The 2017 is a wine of significant heft hidden behind a wall of tannin. Give it a few years to soften or open it well in advance. Time brings out striking translucence as well as finesse.

    There’s such purity of fruit to this with both dried and ripe strawberries and citrus rind. It’s full-bodied and structured with layers of ripe tannins that are fine and polished. Tight at the end. Give this two or three years to open and soften. Try in 2024.

  • Audrey Frick, May 2021, Score: 93

    Castiglione is from a collection of vineyards across Barolo, from vines that are 10 to 45 years old. Each of the parcels are fermented and aged separately prior to the final blending and are aged for approximately 30 months in oak casks and barriques. The 2017 Barolo Castiglione has pure aromas of fennel, fresh cherry, and cinnamon. Balanced and energetic on the palate, there is ripe cranberry, blood orange, and dried roses, with fine tannins. Vibrant and approachable out of the gate, this is a wonderful entry from the Vietti estate. Drink 2021-2034.

Producer

Vietti

Founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti in Castiglione Falletto, Vietti has become one of the most respected names in Piemonte. The estate’s rise to prominence began in the 1960s under the stewardship of Alfredo Currado, who was among the first to bottle single-vineyard Barolo with the release of Rocche di Castiglione in 1961. He also played a pivotal role in reviving the nearly extinct Arneis grape, earning him the title “father of Arneis.” In 2016, the Vietti family sold the winery to the Krause family, who have continued to uphold its legacy while expanding its vineyard holdings. Today, Vietti boasts some of the most valuable and representative vineyards in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. Vietti’s commitment to quality and innovation has solidified its status as a benchmark producer in Piemonte, offering wines that beautifully express the region’s diverse terroirs.

Region

Barolo

With Brunello in Tuscany, Barolo is undoubtedly Italy's finest wine producing region. Located in Piedmont in the north west of Iataly Barolo is comprised of 5 major communes - Barolo, Monteforte d'Alba, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba - though the latter three tend to represent the main styles of the region. The wines are compelling and polished - an exemplary expression of the Nebbiolo grape. DOCG law requires a minimum ageing of 2 years in cask or barrel yet can be longer depending on the producer. Barolos are generally released four or more years after the vintage.
