The Castelletto Barolo Riserva DOCG 2016 from the Fortemasso winery presents itself as a true gem of Piedmontese viticulture. With an intense garnet red color and orange reflections, this Barolo Riserva showcases a complex bouquet of aromas, intertwining notes of tobacco, leather, damp earth, and subtle nuances of truffle. Over time, hints of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum also emerge, enriched by light traces of vanilla and sweet spices, a result of aging in French oak barriques.

On the palate, it is robust and well-structured, with velvety yet powerful tannins that promise excellent longevity. The well-balanced acidity and long persistent finish make this Barolo Riserva a wine of great elegance and complexity.

Ideal for accompanying elaborate red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, the Castelletto Barolo Riserva 2016 is a wine that will significantly improve with further years of cellaring. A wine that represents a true expression of terroir, tradition, and the winemaking art of Piemonte.
