Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 21
The 2015 Barolo Villero is quite reticent today. There is good energy in the glass, but not a lot of depth, even for this wine. Rose petal, cinnamon, sweet red cherry, spice and orange peel linger.

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
