The 2019 vintage is one of the greatest of all time for Vietti and on par with the legendary 2016 vintage. Antonio Galloni describes the 2019 vintage from Vietti as "off the charts" and awarded Vietti winery of the year for 2022, which is a huge compliment. As we have stated previously, Vietti is part of the old guard of Piedmonte, and their hometown of Castiglione Falletto is one of the top sites for Barolo. Ranking among the very best Barolo producers, Vietti has been an integral part of the Barolo winemaking community since the early 1800s when it was founded. Today we have the Castiligone, which Viettis take on Barolo Classico sourced from their hometown from various vineyards ranging from 10 to 45 years old planted on rich limestone and clay. This wine can feature a few crus, and all the different sites are vinified separately to bring out their individual expression before they are blended into the final wine. This is a magnificent example of this beautiful Barolo, and the best vintage Vietti has ever made of the Castiglione. This is a fantastic way to enjoy the wines from Vietti without the price tag of the crus, and we have 750s and rare magnums available, which is an excellent format for this wine. Another not to miss example from Vietti this vintage, the Castiglione, is a brilliant Barolo.
Antonio Galloni 94 points! "The 2019 Barolo Castiglione is elegant, translucent and classy. Crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, mint and cinnamon all grace this elegant, wonderfully nuanced Barolo from Vietti. I especially admire the energy here. In many vintages, the Castiglione is easygoing and quite accessible, but l see the 2019 needinga few more years to come into its own. I especially admire its focus and cut."
