Tasting note

品飲筆記：2021 年的 Castelletto 展現出優雅的花香與紅果氣息，帶有紫羅蘭與玫瑰花瓣的香調，接著是乾櫻桃、石榴和一抹檸檬皮的清爽感。口感中段紮實且有層次，帶點泥土和黑胡椒的香料味，生動的酸度搭配柔滑而有骨架的單寧，尾韻悠長且帶鹹香。 酒莊與釀造：來自吉亞尼格力亞朶家庭酒莊的酒款，以傳統但細緻的方式釀造。釀酒師控制浸皮時間與萃取，讓單寧成熟而圓潤，同時保留細膩花香；陳年主要採用大型橡木桶與已使用的小桶，減少新木味，強調果香與質地。 葡萄園：Castelletto 產區土質偏白堊與石礫，排水性佳，晝夜溫差讓果實慢熟並保有優異酸度，葡萄藤管理注重平衡與產量控制，造就香氣集中、口感有張力的果實。建議醒酒約 1.5 小時以開放香氣，配重口味肉類或松露、野味料理最為合拍。

Tasting note: A classic Barolo expression from Castelletto — the 2021 reveals lifted floral top notes of violets and rose petal, weaving through red and dried cherry, pomegranate and a discreet citrus-peel brightness. Beneath the perfume sits an earthy, savory core with hints of black pepper and ginger. The palate shows medium body, lively acidity and velvety yet structured tannins, finishing long, dense and savory. Producer notes: From Gianni Gagliardo, this bottling reflects the cool, stony aspects of the Castelletto cru. The style is focused and refined, aimed at clarity of aromatics and a long, savory finish rather than exuberant ripeness. Winemaking: Traditional methods with careful extraction to achieve ripe, polished tannins. Fermentation and extended maceration build structure while aging in neutral large-format oak (and some used barriques in select years) tempers wood influence, preserving floral aromatics and fine-grained texture. Vineyard: Castelletto’s calcareous, well-draining soils and elevation favor slow ripening and fragrant aromatics. Vines are managed for balance and concentration, producing grapes with crisp acidity and structured tannins ideal for ageing. Drinking window: 2026–2036.
