This wine shows aromas of melons and pears with a subtle hint of tropical and citrus fruits

Vietti Barolo Castiglione 5L 2019 leconfield Jerome Mader has de-classified thisThis is looking very, very good great density, layering, shape and flow. Looking expressive straight out of the gate. Serious and fun. Savoury. Super complex. Long even fine quality tannins beautifully integrated & balanced with fine acid & energizing core of fruit. Grape first. Simply delicious.
