Giovanni Manzone's 2014 Barolo Castelletto is a more generous and robust wine compared to many of its peers from this cool vintage. This expression offers compelling aromas of dark fruit, prune and spice. The delivery is smooth and silky. The wine is, however, marked by a toasted note of spice and tar that comes from the oak. That will take a few more years to better integrate. Only 5,500 bottles were produced.
