The glorious Barolo Castelletto Pressenda 2017 is a beautiful expression of this sun-drenched vintage. Its deep ruby colour is just starting to show the brick rim of maturity, and the nose is brim-full of red cherry, cranberry and dried cherry, overlaid with luxurious white chocolate. As inviting as the aromas are, they don't quite prepare you for the extraordinarily succulent, deep palate, redolent of deep, gorgeous ripe fruit, with supremely velvety texture. This is absolutely, completely, 100% delicious to start drinking now, and it should remain fabulous for at least the next 8-10 years. A special Barolo from the Pressenda vineyard, originally planted in 1969, in the Cru of Castelletto and the village of Monteforte d'Alba. The site has a south-eastern aspect, and lies at an elevation of 350-370 metres.

Press Review
" The 2017 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda is a gorgeous, exotic wine. Rose petal, orange peel, cinnamon, cedar and red berry fruit all open in a beautifully layered, super-expressive Barolo from Conterno-Fantino. Beams of Castelletto tannin extend the finish while lending a real feeling of vibrancy throughout. The balance of purity and structure is compelling. Drink 2025-2037. "
Press Review
" This is very structured with fantastic tannins that frame the wine. Dark fruit with ripe strawberries, as well as wet earth and dried black truffles. Full and chewy. Tight finish. Needs four or five years to open. Try after 2025. "
