Barolo Castellero Brezza 2021 (750ML)

94 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The organic Brezza 2021 Barolo Castellero reveals an open-knit character that is subtle and elegant. This pretty wine embraces a classical or traditional side of Nebbiolo, keeping with the house style all the while. The tannins are fine and powdery. There is a pretty hint of sweet violet pastille or rose perfume on the close. This release of 4,945 bottles starts off in stainless steel for 10 months of fermentation and matures in Slavonian oak for 24 months." 06/25

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "From the MGA of the same name located in the village of Barolo at an altitude of 300m above sea level in a site with predominately sandy soils, the Brezza 2021 Castellero has beautiful aromas of wild rose, camphor, cedar and dark culinary spice. Elegantly structured and still primary, the vibrant palate delivers red cherry, licorice, white pepper and black tea set against a tannic backbone and firm acidity. Give this time to develop to its full potential. Drink 2031–2041." 01/25

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Antonio Galloni: "The 2021 Barolo Castellero is redolent of black cherry, lavender, dried herbs, leather, tobacco and incense. Earthy undertones add to a real sense of gravitas. Dark and deeply textured in the glass, the 2021 impresses with its balance and alluring personality. Polished tannins wrap it all together on the close. This is such a distinctive Barolo." 01/25
