Barolo Villero, Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2019

Here's an exciting new addition to the Poderi Luigi Einaudi portfolio that takes us to the very heart of Castiglione Falletto, where some of the world's best wines are made. The 2019 Barolo Villero is lean and razor sharp with a fine succession of aromas that go from wild berry, to crushed stone and blue flower. The Einaudi team hits it out of the ballpark with this beautifully fine and finessed expression of Nebbiolo. I would bet on long aging potential for this wine, with a small 3,500-bottle release. 2025-2045

A new entry for the estate, this fragrant, lovely red boasts aromas of red berry, camphor, spice and blue flower. Elegantly structured and youthfully austere, the firm palate features ripe red cherry, star anise, blood orange and a hint of coffee bean framed in tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it nicely balanced and vibrant. Drink 2029–2044.
