Sourced from their .8 hectare parcel in the Villero cru in Castiglione Falletto.
Aged for thirty months in 40 HL barrels. Bottled at the end of summer. It then spends one year in the bottle before release.
Hand-harvested in early October from 53 year old vines.
Grape Varietal:
100% Nebbiolo
96 Points - Wine Spectator, "Supple in texture and laced with cherry, raspberry, rose hip, mineral and mint flavors, this red is deftly balanced, vibrant and intense. Flashes of licorice and tar add depth as this cruises to the long, detailed finish. A base of chalky tannins lends support. Best from 2027 through 2046."
95 Points - Vinous, "The 2020 Barolo Villero offers up blue fruit, lavender, spice, mint, new leather and grilled herbs. Brisk acids and veins of tannin confer freshness. It will be interesting to see if the 2020 softens in bottle. Today, it is decidedly nervous. Even so, the Villero has real palate presence and notable explosive energy."
