Tasting Notes

The 2015 Barolo Villero offers richness and darkness with fruit from Castiglione Falletto, and it's one of the more intense wines I tasted within this selection. The Villero is a balanced and polished Barolo that opens to nicely integrated fruit and spice tones, expertly interwoven and united. The wine has a beautiful entry to the palate. Indeed, this pretty wine presented a united front, with seamless and graceful integration. 2021-2040

Castiglione Falletto. 'All the crus are like twins: once the grapes are in the cellar, they are treated in the same way with fermentation in concrete, tank and ageing in large oak cask and they are also bottled at the same time for as much as possible. The differences between the wines are the result of the differences in terroir and how we manage the vineyard. Villero is normally less hot than Rocche [di Castiglione] but as it is an amphitheatre it's very protected and there was much less circulation of air and more intense heat as a result [in 2017]. Youthful mid ruby. Elegant, cool-climate kind of nose with crushed red fruit of real intensity. Minerally notes, too. Vibrant red fruit and coating tannins in equal measures. On the finish, there is a real unity of fruit and tannins. Fantastic focus and length. 2022-2034
