The 2019 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda is gorgeous. Delicate and perfumed in the glass, the 2019 offers up a beguiling mélange of dark red cherry, rose petal, mint, cedar, blood orange, spice and crushed autumn leaves. In 2019, the Monforte tannins are especially refined, something that is very rarely the case here at this stage. What a wonderfully precise, sophisticated, nuanced wine this is. Impressive.

Lustrous, youthful crimson. Ripe, aromatic raspberry over savoury minerally notes and with hardly discernible oak – more like a pinch of spice. Succulent, deep raspberry palate charged with bags of chewy tannins. Great length, focus and concentration. (WS)
