Precise, textural and long with aromas of dried thyme, cherries, forest berries, dried herbs and crushed black pepper. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins and fresh acidity. Lively and agile with a succulent core of sour cherries and white pepper at the center. A crushed stone character brings a mineral touch to it and onto the long, focused finish..." 01/24

Youthful and ripe ruby red in color, the 2020 Barolo Villero has a fantastic bouquet of pure ripe raspberries, wet stones, fresh roses, and sweet sage. Medium-bodied, it’s approachable up front and balanced, with refined tension through the mid-palate, fine tannins, and refreshing acidity. Weightless, with good ripeness, it’s long on the palate and has a lasting perfume of dried apricot. Absolutely lovely , it’s going to offer a wide drinking window over the next 15 or so years.

The 2020 Barolo Villero offers up blue fruit, lavender, spice, mint, new leather and grilled herbs. Brisk acids and veins of tannin confer freshness. It will be interesting to see if the 2020 softens in bottle. Today, it is decidedly nervous. Even so, the Villero has real palate presence and notable explosive energy
