From Castiglione Falletto's prized Villero site, this fragrant Einaudi shows pronounced camphor, fine pipe tobacco, and ripe berry on the nose. Youthfully austere but already delicious, it delivers crunchy red berry, raspberry, blood orange, dried mint, and star anise with firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Built for the cellar.

Antonio Galloni

94 points

"Just bottled, the 2021 Barolo Villero impresses with its understated depth. Black cherry fruit, lavender, licorice, cloves, incense and dried autumn leaves build effortlessly in the glass. Broad but impeccably balanced tannins wrap it all together in style." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barolo Villero (with fruit from Castiglione Falletto) has an ashy or mineral layer that follows to blackcurrant and dried cherry. That elegant mineral note is what distinguishes this extremely vertical, razor-sharp Nebbiolo. Medium-plus texture follows through with good power on the palate thanks to the precision and firmness of the tannins." —Monica Larner

Decanter

"Attractive and inviting aromas of sweet spice and dark plum; palate of red cherry, strawberry and focused tannins."

Wine Spectator

93 points

"Plum, cherry, menthol and sanguine flavors converge in this densely woven red. Balanced, this is vibrant midpalate, with a solid dusting of tannins on the finish. There’s an elegant feel overall, with persistence and refinement. Best from 2029 through 2046."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Full-bodied and fragrant, the 2021 Villero from Poderi Luigi Einaudi is a fantastic showing, starting with its pronounced aromas of camphor, fine pipe tobacco and ripe berry. Youthfully austere but already delicious, it has great fruit flavors of crunchy red berry, raspberry and blood orange accented by dried mint and star anise. Firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity keep it balanced and loaded with energy. Drink 2031–2046." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Luigi Einaudi

Founded by Italy's future president in 1897, Luigi Einaudi makes Barolo from the Costa Grimaldi vineyard at Terlo—a southeast-facing, calcareous-marl site with reserved nose, full-bodied attack, and silky tannins that evolve for decades. This is Piedmont's aristocracy.
