    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Fragrant and ethereal in style, very lovely and seductive but with fine trembling acidity. Full-bodied fruit covers the tannins nicely but its dominant character is overwhelmingly one of charm and transparency. Cherry fruit with notes of lily, complimented by gripping, stony tannins. 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.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2016 Barolo Villero is one of the most refined editions of this wine I can remember tasting. Lavender, spice, licorice, mint and blue/purplish fruit are beautifully delineated here. Transparent and nuanced, the Villero is so classy. There is plenty of depth and structure, but what impresses most about the Villero is how unusually sophisticated it is. Time in the glass brings out the wine's explosive personality, but the 2016 remains incredibly elegant, especially for this site. This is a tremendous showing from Brovia.
