A single-MGA Barolo DOCG from the historic Castello vineyard in Grinzane Cavour — a site once sourced by Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, in the 19th century. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it shows intense garnet color developing orange nuances with age, and a complex nose of ripe red fruit, tobacco, leather, vanilla and chocolate.
Castello carries real historical weight — this is the site the Count of Cavour himself chose to elevate Barolo's reputation.
