Barolo DOCG Riserva "Villero" is an exceptional single-vineyard wine from Sobrero Francesco's Villero cru vineyard. This wine, produced only in limited quantities, embodies elegance and promises to age gracefully over the years. But it is also one of those wines you want to savor and share with your loved ones. It shines a brilliant ruby red and exudes a seductive bouquet of ripe red fruits that mingle with notes of jam, leather, and spices. On the palate, it offers freshness and harmony, embraced by grippy tannins that culminate in a lingering finish. The Villero vineyard is located in Castiglione Falletto at an altitude of 370 meters, facing southwest on clay soil. The grapes were harvested by hand from 15-year-old vines. In the winery, the grapes were fermented and macerated for 50 days in temperature-controlled wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation took place in cement tanks, followed by a minimum of 36 months of aging in 15 hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels. The wine was bottled without filtration.
