silky tannins provide the backdrop as the 2001 opens up in the glass

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and crisp acidity

This is not as dense as the best in the range

The mouthfeel is fleshy and generous and there is plenty of backbone here to carry the wine forward throughout the years

Giacomo Fenocchio, Barolo Villero Size:6x750ml silky tannins provide the backdropThe 2012 Barolo Villero is one of the more successful wines in the range.
