This is the second release of Castelletto, and it certainly captures interest. Compared to other crus, it stands out as the most concentrated and pronounced, while still reflecting the winemaker's style. The nose is slightly perfumed yet restrained, with hints of blackberry, mint, cassis, licorice, and earth, perhaps even a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is intense and bold. It exudes power, energy, and tension, suggesting significant potential for development. The wine is complex and multilayered, with intriguing mineral notes. The finish reveals subtle hints of chalk and iron, adding to its overall depth.
