This wine boasts a delightful blend of red and black cherry flavours, complemented by subtle hints of raspberry jube and rhubarb, and rounded out with notes of liquorice and brown spice. The Vietti Barolo Castiglione DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2017 features a smooth and fleshy texture, with supple tannins that provide a gentle powdery grip on the finish. Despite its brightness and warmth, the wine maintains quiet confidence throughout.
Additionally, the magnum bottle size (1.5L) offers several benefits over standard wine bottles. Firstly, it allows for a slower aging process, resulting in a more refined and nuanced flavour profile. It also provides better protection against oxidation and temperature fluctuations, ensuring that the wine stays fresh and vibrant for longer. Finally, the larger size is ideal for sharing with friends and family at special occasions or gatherings.
