Castiglione Falletto. Youthful and with hints of leafy cherry and still rather closed on the nose. A sense of richness on the palate but without being heavy. Well balanced and long, while the chewy tannins grip the fruit. Lots of promise. (WS)

The 2018 Barolo Villero is gorgeous. It captures the intensity of this site married to a super-classic expression of Nebbiolo. Sage, menthol, licorice, spice, tobacco and incense are woven throughout a core of dark red/bluish fruit. There’s plenty of depth here, the tannins just need time to soften a bit.
