A consignor who has been drinking wine more seriously for the past 25 years and gaining knowledge through tastings. He is a drinker first and a collector second. All wine was bought at the SAQ, either in stores, or lotteries, and was stored in his cellar immediately after the purchase. He chooses wine based on producers more than appellation and firmly believes that wine is meant to be shared. It is his hope that these bottles make their way to like minded individuals.
The score for 2016 Vietti Rocche di Castiglione Barolo is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The Vietti 2016 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is a complete wine, offering exact measures of purity, intensity, freshness and structure. This is the 360-degree Barolo from Vietti, with fruit sourced closest to home in Castiglione Falletto. Rocche di Castiglione sees more shade hours, and that becomes an important factor in the hottest vintages and the longest growing seasons. It creates diurnal shifts that positively impact the purity and brilliant focus of the fruit. Of all the comuni of Barolo, Castiglione Falletto produced exceptional results across the board in this classic vintage. Dark fruit, pressed lilac, blood orange, powdered licorice, balsam herb, spice, iron ore and aniseed fit together perfectly like pieces in a puzzle. Once completed, that puzzle offers a dazzling panoramic portrait of this special Barolo territory. A mere 3,394 bottles and 300 magnums were produced.
