Conterno Fantino Barolo Castelletto 'Vigna Pressenda' DOCG 2016

The 2016 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda is bright, punchy and super-expressive, with striking floral and mineral top notes that lend energy and brilliance to this mid-weight Barolo. The purity of the flavours is just striking. Medium in body, gracious and nuanced, the Castelletto has so much to offer. This is a super-classic wine that shows significant tension and austerity; I would give it a few years to soften.
