The 2014 Barolo Castello is softly textured and accessible even at this very young stage in its drinking window. The bouquet offers a rich embroidery of plump cherry, plum, grilled herb and licorice. Savory tobacco and leather also appear at the back. Drink this food-friendly Barolo next to lamb chops with sautéed vegetables.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
