Giovanni Manzone, Barolo Castelletto other_regions_italy A classically proportioned wineThe 2013 Barolo Castelletto offers a frank and accessible personality that opens this wine up to near and medium term drinking. It offers vibrant, youthful Barolo aromas of dark fruit, tar, licorice and white truffle, and although those elements will become finer and more elegant with time, they already taste great now. This is a bright and beautifully intense wine that offers a friendly and disarming approach. Some 6,000 bottles were made.
