Castelletto is an extensive area between Monforte d'Alba and the hamlet of Perno, bordering with Serralunga d'Alba. Of all the appellations of Monforte, it is that which expresses the greatest finesse and elegance. Here we cultivate about four hectares of vineyard in a south-easterly position, which Daniela brought to the Veglio family when she married Mauro.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast, Kerin O'Keefe, September 2020. "Aromas of dark-skinned berry, camphor, iris and oak-driven spice shape the nose. On the full-bodied palate, assertive fine-grained tannins accompany dried cherry, exotic spice and crushed botanical herb. Drink after 2026."
92 Points - Falstaff, October 2020. "Bright ruby red core. A slightly close nose, hints of candle wax and citrus fruits. A very youthful palate with notes of vanilla wood and spices, dense dark fruit and a long finish. Great ageing potential."
