"Red berry, hazelnut, new leather and ground clove aromas come to the forefront on the fragrant 2020 Castellero from Giacomo Fenocchio. The full-bodied palate starts off with succulent Morello cherry and crushed raspberry before notes of bitter orange, ground clove and a sanguine note of rusty iron appear on the mid-palate. Tight, close-grained tannins offer firm support."
