Brovia Vilero Barolo

Some may argue the case but, personally, if we had to pick one of these "cru" Barolo as the king of kings, our vote would go the "Villero". The package is complete: strong yet elegant, powerful but dignified, above all pure and balanced. No matter the vintage, this special site in Castiglione Falletto yields a consistently marvelous wine that will age with consummate grace. Dark and brooding in its youth, it matures into a regal wine of exceptional depth. For us it is the quintessential Barolo. This 1.5 hectare vineyard faces southwest at an altitude of 340 meters. The vines were planted in 1961. The "Villero" is aged in large French oak botti for at least two years after a cuvaison of three weeks or more.
