The Raineri 2016 Barolo DOCG Castelletto is a still red wine that stands as a true homage to the winemaking tradition of the Langhe region. Coming from one of the most esteemed crus of the Barolo denomination, this wine captures the essence of a land steeped in history and passion. The 2016 vintage provided exceptional Nebbiolo grapes, which express themselves in this Barolo through an enveloping aromatic complexity. On the nose, it opens with notes of red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, enriched by hints of withered roses and sweet spices. Over time, these fragrances evolve into tones of tobacco and licorice, signifying maturation that promises great longevity.
It matures in oak barrels, giving it a robust structure and silky tannins that beautifully balance its acidity. On the palate, the Raineri Barolo 2016 captivates with a persistence that seems endless, leading the taster on an unforgettable sensory journey.
Perfect for pairing with rich dishes like braised meats or aged cheeses, this wine is an ideal companion for an elegant dinner, yet it also shines on its own, telling stories of vineyards and hills. With a limited number of bottles available, each one encapsulates the sun, moon, and earth of the Langhe, making every sip a unique and precious experience.
