"From Castiglione Falletto, the 2012 Barolo Villero is a fine and elegant wine that reflects the delicate and floral nature of the loose and white soils that characterize the Villero cru. At 22 hectares, this vineyard is farmed by many different producers, and 11 unique labels carry the Villero designation in the Barolo appellation. More than power, this wine offers elegance and finesse with light mineral touches that are followed by rose hip and dried lavender." -Monica Larner

"Aromas of wild berry, crushed aromatic herb and a whiff of dark spice slowly take shape in the glass. On the firm, linear palate, tight, youthfully austere tannins support tart sour cherry, cranberry, anise and freshly ground clove. This still needs a few years to fully open and develop. Drink 2022–2032." -Kerin O'Keefe
