The wines here just get better and better, and the estate increases little by little as Michele and Sabina Reverdito take advantage of their ‘young vigneron’ status to plant/acquire more land.
Michele’s very first vintage was in 2000: until that year, his father had always sold his grapes to neighbours – he considered himself a farmer and not a winemaker. Now they have 20 hectares of vineyards, at altitudes of between 300 and 420 metres. The age of the vines ranges between six and thirty years.
Everything is now aged in a mixture of tonneau (500 or 700 litres) and 3000 or 4000 litres botte. The wines are aged for between one year and thirty months, depending on the vineyard and the vintage.
Castagni is a lovely forward style of Barolo and offers great value! Fragrant on the nose with dense and ripe red fruits with gentle tannins. Just 6,000 bottles are produced of Barolo DOCG Castagni.
