Barolo Villero

Full

Cork

My top picks from the Oddero stable in 2022 are the Brunate and, quite surprisingly, this Villero. It has a very warm southwestern exposure, but a high presence of clay silicates helps retain water. Perhaps the magic of 50-plus-year-old vines is at play too. There is richness without over-ripeness along with the complexity, depth and structure expected of a Barolo at this level. Without giving away all at once, the nose emerges with pressed violet, mint and fennel. A savoury tarriness underlies dark raspberry and cherry compote. Clayey tannins tug insistently. Perfumed aromatic herbs carry the finish.
