SPECIFICATIONS

TASTING NOTES

Barolo Riserva Villero is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from one of the most prized vineyards in the entire Barolo denomination, located in Castiglione Falletto. The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection of the bunches on October 5th. After a gentle pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place for about 4 weeks in stainless steel tanks, with regular pump-overs to extract color and tannins. The maceration includes both a pre-fermentation cold maceration phase and a post-fermentation phase, carried out using the traditional submerged cap method. Malolactic fermentation is completed in oak barrels, where the wine ages for about 30 months, developing a finesse that imparts great complexity. The wine presents a brilliant and intense ruby red color, typical of great Barolos, which evolves into more orange hues with aging. 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 forest floor and aromatic herbs, reflecting 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, providing the wine with finesse and smoothness. The mouthfeel is complete and harmonious, with a long, persistent finish that leaves a pleasant mineral freshness. This Barolo pairs magnificently with structured and flavorful dishes. It is perfect with red meats like braised beef, filet mignon, or lamb chops, which enhance its complexity. It also complements game dishes, such as wild boar, venison, or pheasant, enriching its power and elegance. The wine is also ideal with dishes featuring porcini mushrooms or truffles, which accentuate its finesse. For cheeses, it pairs perfectly with aged pecorino, Castelmagno, and toma piemontese, which mirror its complex structure and refined character. Barolo Riserva Villero is ideal for special occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, or elegant dinners, thanks to its complexity and finesse. It is also perfect as a meditation wine, for those seeking a sensory experience that grows and 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 advisable to decant it a few hours before serving. The ideal serving temperature is between 18-20°C, to highlight its aromatic complexity and tannic structure, ensuring a rich and satisfying tasting experience. Read more Read less
