The 1997 Barolo offers a deep ruby color, and a fat, low acid, plush style with low acidity as well as copious cherry fruit. This Castiglione Falletto producer has fashioned a modern, forward-styled Barolo exhibiting evidence of barrique aging. It will not make old bones, but for drinking over the next 7-8 years, it represents an attractive, commercial style with some character.
