Review Date: 02/2025The gorgeous 2021 Villero from Brovia reels you in with its enticing fragrance of wild rose, cedar, pine forest and red berry. Elegantly structured and utterly delicious, the poised, precise palate features succulent red cherry, strawberry, star anise and white pepper before a salty finish. Firm, polished tannins provide seamless support while bright acidity keeps it wonderfully balanced and lends racy tension. This is a wine I would love to have in my cellar and follow its evolution over the years. (KO)

Notes
Brovia’s Villero is a benchmark expression of one of Castiglione Falletto’s most prestigious crus. In the 2021 vintage—a year marked by balance and finesse—this Barolo displays intense aromatics of rose petal, dark cherry, licorice, and crushed stones. The Villero vineyard’s clay-limestone soils lend the wine depth and structural precision, with firm yet polished tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Aged traditionally in large Slavonian oak, it exemplifies Brovia’s restrained and terroir-focused style. This is a cerebral Barolo with great aging potential, offering both power and poise.
