Fortemasso Barolo Castelletto Riserva 2015

For the production of Barolo Castelletto Riserva, grapes from the vineyard parcel located in the highest position on the hill are used. The slow and late ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes make it rich and structured, giving them great ageing potential.

Colour

Deep, bright ruby red with slight orange highlights.

Bouquet

Clear, broad with delicate notes of violets, dried rose, cinnamon, liquorice and sweet tobacco.

Flavour

Harmonic, full-bodied with delicate astringency. Powerful with a long, strong aftertaste that leaves room for fruity complexity.

Pairing

It goes perfectly with important and tasty dishes such as game and medium-aged cheeses. With ageing, it pairs with long-aged cheeses and dark chocolate.

Meat

Game

Cheese

Matured cheese
