Vinous
Review Date: 01/2026The 2022 Barolo Villero is one of the highlights in this range from Oddero. Strong spiced and mentholated notes meld into a core of dark red-tone fruit. Leather, incense, tobacco, dried herbs, lavender and graphite lend notable layers of dimension. Bold and explosive, with tons of energy, the 2022 is very complete, not to mention an unqualified success for the year. All this needs is time to soften a bit. (AG)

Notes
The 2022 Oddero Villero Barolo is a monumental, highly classical expression from one of Castiglione Falletto's most historically revered, clay-heavy crus. Known for producing wines of immense structural brawn and dense phenolic mass, the Oddero family handles this warm-vintage fruit with traditionalist constraint, employing a long maceration followed by extended aging in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks to prioritize architectural transparency over modern makeup.
