Note di degustazione
One of Brovia's most robust and structured Barolos, I was a bit distracted by the oak in the 2012 Barolo Villero. Needless to say, the wine will integrate and find its balance as it matures and evolves in the bottle. Thick lines and dark fruit aromas of cherry and blackberry are backed by allspice and clove with dark tar or asphalt.

As always, the 2012 Barolo Villero is a bit more pointed and focused than the Rocche, with veins of tannin and acidity that give the wine much of its shape. Beautifully delineated throughout, the Villero is laced with deep layers of spice, dried flowers, mint and licorice. This is one of the more inward, introspective wine of the vintage, as it always is at Brovia. Today, the fruit lies in the background, while the wine's structural components are front and center. Readers should be prepared to give the Villero at least a few years in bottle.
From 50-year-old vines. Bottled August 2015. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Fascinating and almost a little iodine on the nose. Lots of minerals, peppery orange and cherry. Super-elegant mouthfeel without it being too light. Very compact, yet ripe and closed palate that is finely charged with acidity and muscular tannins. A baby. (WS)
