Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 25
The 2021 Barolo Villero is laced with spice, new leather, herbs, menthol and licorice. It exudes depth, structure and classicism, with plenty of the balsamic inflections that are such signatures of Villero. I admire the wine's virile intensity and overall power. This is a superb showing.

Castiglione Falletto. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Impressive concentration of cherry fruit on the nose underpinned by exotic-spice notes and white pepper. Full suave fruit and real concentration on the palate, while still in an embryonic state. Very long and focused with supple acidity and wonderful firm yet polished tannins. Wait. (WS)

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.
