Editorial Reviews for Brovia Barolo Villero
Very pretty on the nose with notes of raspberry fruit, clay soil and mint. Lightly floral top notes and a hint of cinnamon. Firm, lean and pure in the mouth with unfettered cherry fruit, phenomenal depth and a silky finish. This shows more flesh than many 2008s and should prove to be a knockout with some time in the cellar. 93pts
From a freshly opened bottle Dark and smoky on the nose with plums in alcohol and rich earth and sottobsco notes. Top notes of pollen, saffron and lilac add hight and lighten it up 3 Big and a touch viscous in the mouth yet with superb freshness with bright acidity and tons of soft tannins 3 Dark and a touch mysterious in the mouth with licorice and cocoa notes up front that yield to dark, reticent fruit that is tinged with balsam mid-palate notes 2+ Very tight and taut on the finish with very savory fruit that has a strong mineral/tarry character and ends with spicy notes of salame on the finale 2+ (5/2008) 91pts
From a bottle open 2 days Hightoned yet a bit pruny on the nose with a bit of nut skin and macerated flowers adding interest. Adds some feral animale notes and a touch of candle wax 2+ Medium full in the mouth and well integrated if seemly a bit hot with a touch of drying tannin 2 Herbal on entry with a restrained core of dried raspberry fruit that is a touch earthy and rustic 2 Finishes long and a touch hot with better poise but still a touch hot, a nice minty flourish on the finale 2 87pts

Medium red. Cherry, earth, cocoa powder and dried flowers on the lightly medicinal nose; a more liqueur-like cherry aroma emerged with aeration. High-pitched, minerally and fine-grained, with terrific depth to its medicinal dark cherry and floral f... Stephen Tanzers IWC.

A Nebbiolo wine from Piedmont in Italy. 2008 F Ili Brovia Barolo Villero 750ml
The Villero is a heavier, denser Barolo from Brovia that is nicely nuanced. It has a fine minerality, along with delicate aromas of roses, red berries, and hazelnuts. All in all a very impressive Nebbiolo.
The Villero is a heavier, more dense Barolo from Brovia that's nicely nuanced with fine minerality. Aromas of roses, red berries and hazelnuts make this Nebbiolo well worth trying.

Winemaker's Notes:
"Impeccable and harmonious from the very first taste. Layers of exotic spices and dark fruit caress the palate, eliminating virtually any sensation of tannin. The 2008 is an unusually fleshy, expressive Villero loaded with class and personality. Dark plums, menthol and a host of balsamic aromas and flavors wrap around the finish. The Villero is a bit rounder and fleshier than the Rocche today, but it is just as gorgeous. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038...94" WA 10/12
