Barolo, Castelletto--Vintage 1998
Piedmont. Estate-bottled: Mauro Veglio
Tasting note: Although Veglio is from La Morra, his 1998 Barolo Castelletto comes from a vineyard in Monforte d'Alba. The least evolved of these single vineyard offerings, it displays an opaque ruby/purple color, and notes of cinnamon, minerals, earth, meat, and black fruits. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied and austere with more tannin and less seductiveness. However, it is loaded with glycerin and extract. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2017. (90-93 points). Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #137, October 2001.
