Brovia Barolo Villero 2022

Villero in a warm year, yet the site's character comes through with unusual clarity. Tobacco, sage, dried herbs, incense and dark red fruit, the aromatics are precise and layered, with a cool-earth quality that feels hard-won in 2022. Firm, grippy tannins dominate the structure right now, giving the wine a serious, driven edge. The depth here is genuine. Give it three to five years for those tannins to settle.
