What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Reviews

Stephen
Tanzer

International
Wine Cellar

Rating: 89-90 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 117, November/December 2004 Good full red. Pure aromas of dark berries, minerals, spices, tobacco and menthol. Sweet and thick but with good spine. Dry but rich flavors of strawberry, mocha and herbs. Finishes with dusty tannins and very good length. A very harmonious blend.

Piedmont
Report

Rating: 92/100 - As reviewed by Piedmont Report in Issue 5, October 2005 Dark translucent ruby. The Villero takes things up a notch, with its deeper, richer nose of menthol, eucalyptus and sweet fruit. It shows plenty of dark fruit on a denser, more structured frame of excellent length that will naturally take longer become fully expressive. It too should gracefully evolve to age 20 and maybe beyond.
