  Critic tasting note: (2005 vintage) "I am a fan of 2005 Barolos. They have beautiful fruit both on the nose and palate, and offer plenty of fruit with ripe tannins and juicy acidity. The Castiglione, which is a blend of wines from different vineyards, shows lots of roses and dried cherries on the nose. It's full and fruity, with silky and refined tannins. It drinks so well now. Give it an hour or two in the decanter before drinking." - James Suckling

I am a fan of 2005 Barolos. They have beautiful fruit both on the nose and palate, and offer plenty of fruit with ripe tannins and juicy acidity. The Castiglione, which is a blend of wines from different vineyards, shows lots of roses and dried cherries on the nose. It's full and fruity, with silky and refined tannins. It drinks so well now. Give it an hour or two in the decanter before drinking.

2005 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2009

Thick and bold with dark concentration and intense aromas of coffee, rhubarb and even a touch of carrot cake, Castiglione is a highly recommended Barolo for those who appreciate rich, powerful wines. It makes a big impression in the mouth with firm, drying tannins and long-lasting flavors of dark fruit and spice.

2005 Vintage: Piedmont [Piemonte] Learn more

Vintage quality: Average

Current condition: Ready to drink

The 2005 vintage for Piedmont was difficult but some good wines were made.

The growing season began with a cool, dank spring which failed to bring much vim and vigor to vine growth. Although a dry summer brought some heat, drought became an issue for certain vineyards...
