2018 Barolo, Castelletto, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont, Italy

This Monforte site has one of the highest proportions of limestone in Barolo. It sits directly opposite Serralunga, across the valley. Whole bunches were used again, to give more fruit and softer tannins; but the Monforte aspect still appears, with refined, balsamic notes, but nothing savoury. There’s a bit of muscle, without being too sinewy.
