2020 Monchiero, Barolo, Del Comune di Castiglione Falletto

This vineyard region contains some of the most impeccably balanced and legendary Piedmont vineyard sites within its borders (Rocche, Villero, Monprivato). This is a lovely, honest, and delicious iteration of this hallowed vineyard, and delivers far more than its price suggests. You could age these longer than you'd suspect given Castiglione's pedigree. Expect a joyful bowl full of cherries, raspberries, currants and occasional lemon peels with intriguing florals that bring to mind jasmine on the palate and finish.
