Not modern. This is about as traditional as they come. Long macerations and aged in Slavonian botti grandi.

That is how it is made but not how it tastes. Very light modern barollo not one that needs 10 to 15 years to be appreciated.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. The “light” aspect you describe is the style of G. Mascarello and they need forever to flesh out. In a year like 2019, they will need forever, forever. Again, nothing modern about it. Not the winemaking. Not the style.

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

2019 vintage. Medium heavy bod. Tar, earth, dark cherry in the nose. High acidity/tannins painfully evident and only tackling this because some greedy human insisted. Visited easily 15 years too early. Mostly structural currently while the dark fruit tumblers slowly click into place. 10.30.24 — 9 days ago

@David T Haven't had enough of the 2020's to rate the vintage. Still trying to process the 2019's. Do enjoy this producer tho.

Wow. Not like a Barolo. More like Burgundian. It’s very elegant with light tannins and exquisitely paired with every item on the tasting menu. — 2 months ago

Unlike the barbaresco, this got WAY better with time in the decanter. Much more structure vs the barbaresco and more depth. It was still quite tanic out of the bottle but with time it all became well integrated. — 6 days ago
