    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Typically, Villero combines the earthbound and the ethereal to great effect. Brovia’s vine age is 61 years old, planted on a good proportion of hard clay under sand. South west facing at 300m, Villero has less air circulation and receives the warmer afternoon sun. Work in the vineyard is adapted to each site so that the crus ripen healthily more or less at the same time. Aged in large used oak casks for two years.

    Critic Reviews

    94+/100
    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    Brovia's 2020 Barolo Villero is a potent, savory wine. Dried herbs, menthol, licorice, wildflowers, spice and dark-toned fruit give the Villero its distinctive personality. Broad swaths of tannin wrap it all together. Dark and brooding, the 2020 is not ready to reveal its charms. All this needs is time—I can't wait to taste it in another few years. As is often the case, the Villero is Barolo that emphasizes savory/earthy/mineral notes more than overt fruit.
