Barolo Villero

Full

Cork

Villero broods a bit, suggesting hazelnut, chestnut and mushroom nuances, before wild yellow broom eventually comes to the fore. The palate packs some weight without over-ripeness, and the dark red cherry is pristine. Frisky tannins need to settle but are poised to remain lively, leading to a chalky finish. Brovia’s single-site bottlings see identical vinification: spontaneous fermentation in cement, delicate pump overs, three- to four-week macerations and refinement in large casks. In 2022, they spent less time in wood to prevent the tannins and fruit from drying out.
