Boroli Barolo Villero

Boroli Barolo Villero

Wine Description

Villero is undoubtedly one of the most important vineyards in Castiglione Falletto in terms of quality and exposure.


The soil is clayey and calcareous, with a south and southwest exposure. The combination of exposure and soil give us a structured and powerful Barolo, with a deep aromatic profile. The tannins are smooth and soft, thanks to long maceration.


Barolo Villero is a long-lasting wine, capable of reaching its full potential even many years after the harvest.

Acclaim
“This has a citrusy and red-fruited nose with dried flowers and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins, that are slightly chewy. Yet it is juicy and bright with fresh cherry and blood orange undertones. Polished finish.” — James Suckling, Jul 2023
“The enticing Barolo reveals dark fruit aromas of plum and blueberry, intertwined with baking spices, dried herbs and sweet tobacco. The plump palate showcases a deep core of mixed red and black fruits, accompanied by oak notes and fine tannins that contribute to a savory and mouthwatering finish.” – (Editors’ Choice) — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023

About the Vineyard

Villero is the hillside upon which the Boroli winery sits. It is located in Castiglione Falletto, just slightly downhill from Bricco Rocche and with the same exposure as the well-respected Monprivato vineyard.
