Gianni Gagliardo Barolo Castelletto 2020 Wood Box

The wine opens with the vibrant aromas of wild strawberries macerating alongside mountain herbs and whole cloves, followed by a tease of blood orange zest. Subtle notes of dried wildflowers and pepper add complexity. On the palate, it’s structured around a core of tart dried red fruits, which gradually yield to nuances of tea leaf and savory spice. Firm tannins are well-integrated, sculpting a profile built for aging. This wine promises to evolve gracefully. Ideal. Drink from 2026–2045.
