Description

Barolo del Comune di Castiglione Falletto 2021 represents the essence of what makes the Barolo zone so unique. Located in the heart of the Barolo district, Castiglione Falletto combines the soft, perfumed notes of La Morra to the west with the deep structure and power of Serralunga to the east. The result is a wine with both elegance, complexity and backbone – a Barolo that stands as a textbook example of the balance between strength and finesse.

The 2021 vintage was particularly favorable: warm, but with cool nights, which has yielded perfectly ripe grapes with high aromatic concentration and vibrant acidity.

Fragrance

The scent is intense, yet refined and floral:

Roses, violets and dried flowers

Ripe cherries, currants and blackberries

Lightly spicy notes of licorice, truffle, leather and cedar

Discreet mineral undertones and a hint of tobacco

Taste

The taste shows Barolo from its most harmonious side:

Focused fruit with notes of cherry, raspberry and a touch of pomegranate

Elegant but firm tannin structure that promises long durability

Fresh, crisp acidity that carries the wine and makes it come alive

The aftertaste is long, complex and silky with mineral and slightly spicy nuances.

Serving and food pairing

Serve at 18 °C , preferably after 1-2 hours of decanting.
Ideally suited for:

Long-braised meat dishes (osso buco, beef shank, lamb shoulder)

Dishes with mushrooms and truffles

Hearty pasta dishes and mature cheeses like Pecorino and Parmigiano-Reggiano

Storage potential

This wine can be enjoyed now with air, but will develop in the bottle for 12-18 years . Over time, it will acquire more complex notes of tobacco, dried fruits and forest floor, while the tannins become silky.
