Tasting notes
With fruit from one of the top growing sites in Castiglione Falletto, the 2019 Barolo Villero shows a slightly ripe and soft side with cherry and dried raspberry followed by licorice, tar and rusty metal. This is an elegant expression, with a terrific sense of focus, that delivers complexity and depth, especially in this excellent vintage. Only 5,000 bottles were released.

The 2019 Barolo Villero is another imposing wine in this range. It shows all the deep spice and savory notes typical of this site, along with plenty of muscle. The 2019 is an ample, virile Barolo with quite a bit of depth that only emerges with several hours of air. Patience is key.
Youthful mid ruby. Hints of raspberry with notes of garden herbs and a hint of eucalyptus. Rises up like a cloud from the glass. It reveals itself only very slowly and layer after layer. Super youthful and enticing on the palate, with gorgeous juicy cherry and raspberry fruit and a thick layer of finely ground tannins like from a mortar. Long, captivating and focused. (WS)
