Tasting notes
Showing dark fruit, crushed stone and spiciness with cumin, aniseed and black pepper, the Giuseppe Mascarello 2019 Barolo Villero shows good intensity and dark fruit. Its overall mouthfeel and consistency are slightly thinner on the mid-palate, and the tannins feel resolved to offer a silky finish and good freshness.

Spicy, with a very noble feel, the 2019 Barolo Villero is a pale ruby hue and offers upfront aromas of candied orange peel, ripe raspberries, and red cherry, as well as a hint of rustic wild herbs, with darker undercurrents of violets, black fruit, pine sap, and truffle coming through. Medium-bodied and powerfully structured, with taut tannins and bright acidity, it's mouthwatering and sanguine with salty earth and mineral backbone. It demands some time in the cellar and will drink at its best 2026-2056.
Castiglione Falletto. Lustrous pale ruby. At first, earth and stone on the nose that is still a little backward. Juicy raspberry and cranberry fruit that becomes a little vibrant on the long, focused finish with long, fine, gravelly tannins. Great structure and truly elegant. (WS)
