Vietti Barolo 2020 is an exquisite red wine that embodies the true essence of the Piedmont region in Italy. This wine showcases a delicate and complex aromatic profile with notes of dried roses, violets, and red cherries. Its subtle hint of fine baking spice adds an extra layer of depth to its aroma, making it a true delight to the senses.
On the palate, Vietti Barolo delivers mouth-watering tannins that perfectly complement its flavors of red fruits, dried basil, and a touch of leather. This wine is rich and full-bodied, leaving a lasting impression with each sip. It pairs perfectly with hearty dishes like braised meats, roasted game, or aged cheeses.

James Suckling Review – Rated 94:
Racy and focused. I like the aromas of lavender, violet and white roses alongside strawberry, cranberry and stone. Medium body, with firm and fine tannins that are long and succulent. It’s fine and polished.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Review – Rated 93:
Always a popular choice, the Vietti 2020 Barolo Castiglione (made with a blend of fruit from multiple MGA sites) has a voluptuous approach with dark fruit, cola, wild berry coulis and smoky tar. The wine wears a hot vintage well, with accessible and powdery tannins for near or medium-term drinking. In terms of texture, the Castiglione has a little more brawn and body compared to your standard Barolo.
