Barolo Castiglione 2001

100% Nebbiolo.  This is a non-cru bottling that is actually a blend of five crus: Bussia, Ravera, Bricco del Fiasc, Meriondino and Fossati.  The vines are planted at a high density of 5,000 vines per hectare to encourage low yields and concentration of flavor.   Robert Parker calls this wine, “…one of the best values in Barolo.”

WS 92 points, “Bright and plumy with strawberry and cherry character and hints of toasted oak and spices.  Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a ripe, rich aftertaste.  This has stuffing.  Better than the 2000. “
