The 2004 Barolo Riserva Villero from Vietti is a powerful and ageworthy expression of Nebbiolo from the Villero vineyard, a highly esteemed cru located in the village of Castiglione Falletto. Vietti owns a significant parcel within this vineyard, which faces south/south-west and spans approximately 0.9 hectares, with vines averaging 40 years of age. This wine is known for its intense aromatic profile of dried berries, tar, menthol and spiced oak, supported by a dense and structured palate with firm, yet refined tannins, showcasing the classic characteristics of a mature Barolo from an excellent vintage.

The 2004 Barolo Riserva Villero is wonderfully alive and nuanced in the glass. This is another wine I have vivid memories of tasting from cask, before Luca Currado had decided to bottle it as a Riserva. Silky and exceptionally polished, the Riserva captures all of the signatures of Villero in its expressive floral and spiced aromatics. Layers of fruit continue to unfold in a dramatic, statuesque Barolo endowed with tons of pure pedigree. Today, the Villero is in a beautiful spot, but it could also use a few more years in bottle to soften a touch further. Antonio Galloni1st May 2015
