With its vibrant ruby red color, the wine presents a fresh and fruity bouquet, with notes of ripe strawberry, spring flowers, and a subtle hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it offers a youthful and lively structure, with springy tannins and a freshness that emphasizes red fruit, mint, and a delicate touch of green tea.

climate

Barolo has a warm, maritime climate, characterized by warm, pleasant summers, cool, but rarely truly cold, winters, and relatively low rainfall. Summers in Barolo are pleasant, with average daily temperatures ranging between twenty-five and thirty degrees Celsius.

soil

Villero is undoubtedly one of the most important vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, both in terms of quality and location. The soil is clay-limestone, with south- and southwest-facing exposures. This combination of location and soil produces a structured and powerful Barolo with a deep aromatic profile.

vinification

The Villero harvest takes place around mid-October. The vineyards are divided into micro-plots based on the ripeness of the bunches. Harvests are carried out separately, allowing for the production of multiple cuvées per plot. This separation is maintained throughout the vinification and aging process. Fermentation of all the micro-cuvées takes place first in stainless steel tanks, followed by submerged maceration: the grape skins are kept submerged approximately 40–50 cm at a controlled temperature for a medium to long period, up to 30 days. After a minimum of 18 months of aging in wood, the various micro-cuvées are expertly blended. The wine is bottled in June and July, where it remains until the following year before being released.
