The wine
Villero, one of the crus of Castiglione Falletto, enjoys a south-west exposure ideally suited to Nebbiolo. The soils are composed of compact clay-limestone marls rich in iron and manganese, giving the wine firm yet fine tannins, a solid structural backbone and remarkable ageing potential. After a traditional, low-intervention vinification, the wine is aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak foudres (large tuns), followed by a further 24 months of bottle ageing before release.
In the glass, the wine displays a bright, intense garnet hue. The noble, generous bouquet shows ripe red fruit, violet, leather, liquorice and blond tobacco. On the palate, a generous, structured attack unfolds into tightly knit yet smooth tannins, leading into a long, persistent finish marked by a distinct mineral imprint.
