Note di degustazione
Mid aged ruby colour with a rusty, even slightly yellow rim. Very evolved, rather mild nose. Not one of the most exciting or spirited. Does the business without being very thrilling or tense. Very tart and green on the palate. (JR)

The 2006 Barolo Villero is surprisingly delicate and ethereal in this vintage. Sweet and perfumed to the core, the Villero shows lovely balance and purity in an up-front, juicy style. Floral, spices notes linger on the refined finish. Mascarello bought this parcel in 1985 and replanted in 1988, making this a relatively young vineyard in the Mascarello stable.

Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026. Proprietor Mauro Mascarello makes some of the most compelling, traditional wines in Piedmont. Mascarello’s signature Barolo, Monprivato, rarely shows well when young, yet it has a proven ability to transform magically in the bottle, something I have witnessed first-hand with more vintages than I can remember. The irony is that by the time the wines start showing well they are long gone from the market or have appreciated dramatically in price. Importers: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel.
