Boroli

Barolo Villero

Villero is undoubtedly one of the most important vineyards in Castiglione Falletto in terms of quality and exposure.


The soil is clayey and calcareous, with a south and southwest exposure. The combination of exposure and soil give us a structured and powerful Barolo, with a deep aromatic profile. The tannins are smooth and soft, thanks to long maceration.


Barolo Villero is a long-lasting wine, capable of reaching its full potential even many years after the harvest.

Wine Production

Villero is distinguished by a careful selection of grapes, perfect destemming, long macerations with submerged cap. 

Tasting Notes

Clear bright ruby colour with very light garnet red reflections; intense and persistent aroma of red fruit with notes of plum and cherry. A pleasant aroma of wood is noticeable after the fruity aroma, anticipating the full taste of a great wine suitable for long lasting life. A succulent, rich, full-bodied and pleasant taste emerges after the woody one, with the presence of slightly ripe red fruit

Food Pairing

Thanks to its viscosity and body, Barolo is the ideal wine to combine with elaborate dishes such as truffle dishes, meat dishes, pasta with porcini mushrooms, game, and aged cheeses. Villero is also perfect with dry pastries or chocolate.
