Gianni Gagliardo Barolo 'Castelletto' - A Piedmont Masterpiece

From the heart of Monforte d’Alba, the Barolo “Castelletto” Red by Gianni Gagliardo showcases the sublime power and elegance of 100% Nebbiolo. This single-vineyard expression from the renowned Castelletto cru is a benchmark Barolo, offering immense structure and an aromatic complexity that develops beautifully over decades. It is truly the 'King of Wines' for the discerning palate.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Intense garnet hue, brilliant clarity.
• Aroma: A captivating and evolving nose of dried flowers, dark cherry, black tea, and the classic Barolo signature of tar and leather.
• Flavour: Full-bodied and authoritative. The palate is driven by assertive, yet polished, tannins and a bright core of acidity. Expect concentrated red fruit and tertiary notes of earth, truffle, and pipe tobacco. A wine of significant pedigree and longevity.

Serving Suggestion

Best served following a long decant (2-3 hours) to allow the tannins to soften, or cellared for optimal maturity. This Barolo is the perfect accompaniment to traditional Sunday roasts, game, or mushroom-centric dishes. Serve at 18°C.
