Barolo, Villero, 2013
From more compact clay soils than the Rocche facing south west, the resulting Barolo is broader, darker and more unctuous yet is overlayed with a seductive floral scent. Warming sweet blackberry fruits, notes of violet and creme de mure. Headily scented, lush, powerful and enveloping.
critic reviews
The 2013 Barolo Villero is magnificent. In fact, the 2013 may very well be the single most impressive young Brovia Villero I have tasted. Specifically, the flavors are vivid, delineated and wonderfully alive. The characteristic Villero spiced/balsamic notes are very much present. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, cloves and lavender infuse the impeccable, layered finish. Today, the Villero is explosive and showy. Readers will have to be patient. This is a fabulous showing.
