Castellero, 2021

Barolo from a family making it on the same hill since 1864, and only 330 cases of this one - firm, savoury and still holding a lot back.

Old-school Barolo from the Fenocchio family, who have made wine in Monforte d'Alba since 1864. This comes from a tiny sandy plot between two of Barolo's most famous vineyards. In 2021 it is tightly wound: red fruit, iron, white pepper, dried herbs and a touch of liquorice over firm tannin.
