Castello

Castello is a small and rarely referenced MGA within the commune of Grinzane Cavour, positioned on gentle slopes below the historic castle that dominates the village skyline. The soils are primarily clay-limestone with good drainage, and the exposures are moderate, resulting in wines that are accessible, with soft tannins, red fruit, and a restrained structure. While seldom bottled on its own, Castello contributes delicacy and early approachability to blends, reflecting the lighter style typical of this corner of the Barolo zone.
