Barolo, Villero, 2015
Dark berry fruit aromas mingled with notes of dried flower. The palate is round and juicy. Charming, sensual bramble fruit overlayed but higher-toned scents of violet and peony. Seductive, let I the mouth Barolo. From more compact clay soils than the Rocche facing south west, giving rounder more generous wines that nonetheless maintain a certain elegance. Aged in large used oak casks for three years.
critic reviews
The 2015 Barolo Villero is a very pretty, mid-weight wine. Silky tannins and beautifully expressive aromatics give the Villero considerable finesse. On the palate, though, the 2015 is far less expressive. That is not entirely surprising, as the Villero often needs a few years to truly blossom. Sweet floral and spice notes start to open with time in the glass, but the Villero is not an especially forthcoming 2015 Barolo.
