"Lifted scents of mint and pepper take a grounding turn as truffle comes into focus. The palate is awash with strawberry and cherry, while lively acidity vaults and powdery tannins provide an elegant frame. Zesty citrus prolongs the finish. Well executed and joyfully approachable already." - Michela Morris, DECANTER MAGAZINE
KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "The classic Castello di Verduno 2021 Barolo is fragrant and loaded with finesse, starting with its beautiful aromas of violet, rose, perfumed berry and a whiff of eucalyptus. Savory and elegantly structured, the bright palate features succulent red cherry, pomegranate, cake spice and star anise before closing on a note of blood orange. Taut, refined tannins and tangy acidity provide balance. To date this is the best straight Barolo I've had from the estate. Drink 2029–2036. Abv: 14% Kerin O'Keefe June 2025 ©kerinokeefe.com"
Enjoy now with an hour or so in the decatner, or hold for a few more years.
