SPECIFICATIONS
TASTING NOTES
Barolo Riserva Villero is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from one of the most renowned vineyards in the entire Barolo denomination, located in Castiglione Falletto. The grapes are hand-harvested with careful selection of the bunches on October 5th. After a gentle pressing, the alcoholic fermentation takes place over about 4 weeks in stainless steel vats, in contact with the skins and with regular pump-overs to aid in the extraction of color and tannins. The maceration includes both a cold pre-fermentation phase and a post-fermentation phase, carried out using the traditional submerged cap method. The malolactic fermentation is completed in oak barrels, where the wine matures for about 30 months, developing the finesse that gives it great complexity. The wine presents a brilliant and intense ruby red color, typical of great Barolos, which evolves into more orange hues as it ages. On the nose, it is full, complex, and elegant, with notes of ripe red fruit such as cherry and plum, complemented by delicate hints of undergrowth and herbal notes, which reflect the unique terroir of Castiglione Falletto. On the palate, the wine is balanced, silky, and enveloping, with a rich and well-defined structure. The tannins are present but well integrated, giving the wine a sensation of finesse and smoothness. The mouthfeel is complete and harmonious, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasant mineral freshness. This Barolo pairs wonderfully with structured and flavorful dishes. It is perfect with red meats such as braised beef, filet mignon, or lamb chops, which highlight its complexity. It also pairs excellently with game meats such as wild boar, venison, or pheasant, which enhance its power and finesse. The wine is ideal with dishes featuring porcini mushrooms or truffle, which further accentuate its elegance. For cheese pairings, it complements aged pecorino, castelmagno, and toma piemontese, cheeses that reflect the wine's complex structure and refined character. Barolo Riserva Villero is perfect for special occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, or elegant dinners, thanks to its complexity and finesse. It is also an excellent wine for meditation, offering a sensory experience that evolves over time. Additionally, its ability to age further in the bottle makes it an excellent choice for collectors and lovers of great Barolos. To fully appreciate all the nuances of the wine, it is recommended to decant it a few hours before serving. The ideal serving temperature is between 18-20°C, to enhance its aromatic complexity and tannic structure, ensuring a rich and satisfying tasting experience.
