Fortemasso Barolo Castelletto 2020 (750ml) *

Nebbiolo grown in the Barolo zone of Piedmont, this bottling from Fortemasso comes from the Castelletto cru and carries the 2020 vintage. Barolo is one of the traditional homes of the grape, a wine built for structure and longevity, and Castelletto is one of the named sites within the appellation.

Nebbiolo tends toward pale color that belies real grip, with firm tannins, bright acidity, and aromatics that lean into red cherry, rose, dried herbs, and tar. It is a wine that rewards patience and shows well alongside rich, savory food.
