The 2021 Barolo Villero is laced with spice, new leather, herbs, menthol and licorice. It exudes depth, structure and classicism, with plenty of the balsamic inflections that are such signatures of Villero. I admire the wine's virile intensity and overall power. This is a superb showing.

Claudio Fenocchio’s 2021 Barolos represent another important step forward for this family-owned domaine. The wines continue to gain in nuance, finesse and transparency, which is always great to see. Bottling a bit earlier than in the past is another choice that is paying off handsomely. Quite simply, the 2021s are some of the very finest Barolos I have tasted here.
