Mauro Veglio, Barolo Castelletto other_regions underbrushI didn't have great luck with these samples of the 2015 Barolo Castelletto. The first bottle had a bit of button mushroom, suggesting maybe an open botte, whereas the second appeared vaguely corked. This wine is aged for 24 months in barrique, 70% of which is neutral. At any rate, this Barolo shows a darkly saturated appearance with a thick fruit intensity. Production is some 6,000 bottles.
