Villero

2009 Barolo Nebbiolo

Oddero Villero is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Barolo region, showcasing the elegance and complexity that this celebrated varietal is known for. With a captivating deep ruby red hue, this wine entices with its aromatic bouquet, revealing fragrant notes of rose petals, cherry, and plum intermingled with subtle hints of tar and earthy undertones. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied profile, balanced by lively acidity that contributes to its vibrant character and impressive aging potential. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that complements the wine's rich fruit intensity. This 2009 vintage, a true testament to the exceptional terroir of Villero, offers a wonderfully dry finish, making it a delightful choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own as it continues to evolve in the glass.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
