The 2008 Barolo Castiglione is striking. Sweet red berries freshly cut flowers spices and mint are some of the many nuances that flow from this impeccable mid-weight Barolo. The 2008 Castiglione impresses for its exceptional balance polished finish and sheer beauty. This is a feminine Castiglione graced with exquisite class. With time in the glass the wine fleshes out beautifully. Once again the Castiglione delivers incredible value. In 2008 Vietti did not make their Villero Riserva instead that juice went into the Castiglione. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. -Antonio Galloni
