Description
Winemaker's Notes
It comes from the Cru of Castelletto in Monforte d’Alba. The vineyard, at 350 meters above sea level, is exposed to the south-east and steeply sloped with mostly limestone soil that gives a rich and elegant wine. It is aged in oak cask for 24 months to satisfy the most “classic” palates. The color is garnet red and the bouquet is floral. On the palate the wine is very elegant with present but fine-grained tannins
Color Garnet red.
Nose It opens up with aromas of red fruits followed by liquorice, mint, and flowers.
Palate Fresh with soft and balanced tannins.
Food Pairings Roast meat, game, aged cheese.

Expert Reviews
The 2020 Barolo La Villa offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, pine, menthol, licorice and spice. Expressive balsamic notes run through this wild yet alluring Barolo, adding tons of complexity. Aeration brings out the wine’s attractive structure—there’s certainly plenty of power and Monforte muscle. I would give this a few years in bottle to soften.
The wine strikes an engaging chord with a nose rich in baking spices, cracked pepper, and dried herbs, grounded by an undercurrent of forest floor and the black-raspberry preserves. It fills the mouth with density, brimming with ripe red berries, yet remains lifted with tannins that are sweet and well-integrated, lending a structure that frames the fruit without diminishing its vibrancy. This wine delivers an intriguing contrast, offering a different nuance with each sip. Drink now through 2045
Fragrant and mineral Barolo with red berries, grapefruit peel, mild spices and ground pepper on the nose. Polished and caressing on the palate, it has medium body and very fine, well-integrated tannins. Smooth and very approachable. Drink or hold.
