Monchiero Fratelli – Barolo DOCG 2017 Rocche di Castiglione, Castiglione Falletto

The nose is aromatic and offers elegance, a nice finesse of the texture as well as a certain intensity (in control), a very fine straightness. There are notes of raspberry, rose and more slightly bright red fruits (cherry) associated with small touches of violet, lily, liquorice as well as fine hints of liquorice and discreet hints of rosemary / sense of place. The palate is fruity, very delicate and offers a nice minerality, freshness, a certain subtlety and a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy raspberry, bright cherry and more slightly juicy / bright blackberry associated with a touch of cassis, violet, licorice, a discreet hint of toast, bourbon vanilla and an imperceptible hint of oleander. The tannins are precise and finely mellow.
