TASTING NOTES
95pts - Wine Enthusiast
"This Barolo is a true classic, showcasing everything that makes the regions wines so captivating. The nose is a testament to tradition, with a bouquet that transports you to the heart of Barolo. On the palate, its a structural marvel, with a backbone of chalk minerality thats as solid as the Langhe hills themselves. But what really sets this wine apart is the abundance of earthy notes that permeate every sniff and sip. Its like taking a walk through a damp forest, surrounded by the scents of soil and leaves. This is a wine that doesnt just demand your attentionit commands it. If youre lucky enough to experience this extraordinary wine, get ready for a sensory journey like no other. Drink 20262050. Cellar Selection. J.P."
94pts - James Suckling
"Spiced cherries, dried raspberries, orange peel and spices on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and crunchy, with freshness and poise. A little chewy at the end with a bright finish. Drink after 2027."

"Ripe red/ruby in color, the 2020 Barolo Villero offers nice purity and ripeness in its notes of preserved cherries, menthol, fennel, and roses. It gains in intensity without weight on the palate, revealing ripe concentration, plush, ripe tannins, and good freshness. With mouthwatering saline and tension, notes of dried apricot on the back palate, and a long finish, it's a lovely wine to drink 2025-2037."

"The 2020 Barolo Villero offers up scents of pipe tobacco, spice, new leather, menthol and licorice. This is a pretty elegant, translucent style for the Villero, but one that works quite well. Despite some youthful tannin, the 2020 is already pretty open. I don't see it as a long-term ager, but it is quite attractive today."
