Barolo Castelletto

Cork

Persiera hails from the estate’s highest plot in Castelletto, where the steep, sandy incline rises from 400m to 450m and is oriented to the southeast. It was planted in 1999 after being abandoned for several years. The 2021 is the most captivating vintage I have tasted – modern and polished in sheen without sacrificing personality. It is redolent of sandalwood, rhubarb, alpine herbs and forest roots. The palate sports an opulent plum core with plush, almost chocolatey tannins. Coiled acidity brings countering tension. Quite a sophisticated package.
