Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Castelletto 750ml
| Vintage: | 2018 |
|---|---|
| Description: | For the first time, Fabio Alessandria invested in Monforte, where he now manages a vineyard in Castelletto. The MGA was deliberately chosen due to its easterly exposition, in order to preserve as much as possible the freshness of fruit in this Barolo. Perky orange zest shines on the nose, along with watermelon peel, red currants and balsamic whiffs. Savoury and dense with a significant concentration and thickness, it doesn't come across as overextracted but the tannins are muscular and dusty, allied to a kernel flavour on the ripe finish. It's all underlined by firm, quite high acidity. Great tension for the 2018 vintage in this Castelletto, more bony than meaty. One to follow. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2039 |
