MONCHIERO Barolo Del Commune Di Castiglione Falletto
🍷 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Medium garnet with orange-tinged rim, signaling moderate age and maturity .
Aromas:
The nose features a complex mineral core—tar, crushed limestone, graphite—alongside dried rose, peony, and red fruits (wild strawberry, cherry, blackberry), with herbal hints (dried bay, thyme, mint), and subtle spice notes like licorice and cardamom .
Palate:
Full-bodied yet elegant, with juicy red and dark fruit (black cherry, blueberry, cassis), high-precision acidity, fine-grained tannins, and savory spices (cinnamon, clove, black pepper). Mineral accents and a touch of smoke support a structured but refined texture .
Finish:
Long, persistent and sapid—bright acidity keeps it vibrant, while tannins provide grip without dryness .
