Tasting notes
The Boroli 2019 Barolo Villero opens to mid-weight concentration with enough garnet shine to remind you of how pretty Nebbiolo can look in in the glass, especially when young. Villero reveals savory aromas of dark fruit, plum, spice, earth and leather. It draws its fruit from Castiglione Falletto and you can expect tighter structure for steady cellar aging as a result. Only 4,380 bottles will hit the market this fall.

Castiglione Falletto. Concentrated mid ruby. Savoury rather than fruity at the moment and with saline, minerally hints and a suggestion of complex oak. Juicy and concentrated and with more stuffing than their straight offering of the same vintage. Long, juicy and with firm, underlaying chewy tannins. (WS)
A luxuriously styled expression of Villero, the 2019 Barolo Villero is a deep ruby into garnet and has ripe aromas of cedar, kirsch, polished leather, and balsamic. Medium to full-bodied, with notes of ripe red plum, tobacco, and turned earth, it is approachable, with ripe tannins and a rounded feel. The fruit is fresh at this stage but feels as if it may mature a touch earlier than some styles of Barolo in 2019. Drink 2023-2030.
