Parker Review: Like the Rocche, the 2006 Barolo Villero is also made from a vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, but it could not be more different. Here the fruit is deep, dark and sensual. While the Rocche tends towards suggestions of floral red berries, the Villero reveals plums, prune, spices and menthol intermingled with a host of other balsamic overtones. This virile yet mid-weight wine is quite promising. Anticipated maturity 2016-2031. The Brovia family has been on a tear of late. The wines I tasted during my recent visit including all of the Barolos from vintages 2006 through 2008 suggest quality remains at a very high level. The estates 2007s are developing spectacularly and the 2006s, while a touch more reticent, are just as fascinating. I will re-taste all of the 2006 Barolos once they are bottled this summer. In the meantime Brovia fans have much to look forward to. | ||||
