Giacomo Fenocchio Villero Barolo 2016

Description

100% Nebbiolo

The Villero Cru is in Castiglione Falletto where the two main sub-soil types of Barolo (Helvetian and Tortonian) cross. This cru delivers a richer, bigger Barolo than the other Crus of Montforte d’Alba. This would qualify as the most ‘spicy’ of the Barolo Crus with a richness rivaling Bussia overlaying lighter tannins than that cru.

Intense garnet with ruby highlights. Rich complex complex and rich with fruit, floral scents, spices, underbrush and plums. The Villero Cru is known for buoyant aromatics and a dry palate with a lasting impression of warm and elegant sweet tannins and a long and lingering finish. 14.5% ABV
