Gianni Gagliardo 'Castelletto' Barolo Monforte d'Alba 2019 | Piemonte, Italy

An elegant and sophisticated Nebbiolo that's worth savouring. 

Producer: Poderi Gianni Gagliardo

Region: Monforte d'Alba - Barolo, Piemonte, Italy

Grapes: Nebbiolo

Prominent flavours of balsamic and saline-minerality, accompanied by cherry, plum, and pomegranate fruit notes, liquorice and eucalyptus, with a delicately smoky finish.

Smooth and lush on the palate, compact tannin line with a hint of fresh acidity, that leads into a long, cleansing finish.

Beautifully opens up in the glass, revealing complex depth and elegance.
