Description
The Barolo Castelletto Riserva from Fortemasso is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown on the sandstone soils of Diano, in high-slope vineyards located between 360 and 450 meters above sea level in Monforte d'Alba, Piedmont. This wine results from a careful selection of the grapes and a vinification aimed at enhancing the longevity and complexity of the grape variety.
After a prolonged maceration on the submerged cap for 30-45 days, the wine ages in wood for about 40 months and completes maturation with an additional 22 months of bottle aging, thus achieving an organoleptic profile of extraordinary depth.
The color is bright ruby red with orange hues. The bouquet is broad and refined, with notes of violet, wilted rose, cinnamon, licorice, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is powerful and harmonious, with delicate tannins and a long fruity and spicy aftertaste.
Perfect paired with flavorful dishes such as game and aged cheeses, or as a meditation wine.
