Descrizione

Villero Barolo DOCG 2021 in magnum presents itself with elegance and tension: in the glass it shows a bright garnet color and a fine aromatic profile, with notes of ripe red fruit, floral hints and delicate spices that emerge with aeration. On the palate it has good structure, supported by lively acidity and well-defined but already harmonized tannins; the sip finds balance between backbone and softness, leaving a savory and pleasant persistence, with returns of small red fruit and a faint earthy note.

It can be appreciated now by those who love wines with character and class, but the magnum bottle promotes slow evolution in the cellar: an excellent companion to red meat dishes, braised dishes and aged cheeses, as well as for occasions that call for wines that breathe slowly. The presentation in a wooden case makes it elegant as a gift and convenient for storage; a generous decanting is recommended and serving ideally around 18 °C.
