Brovia, Barolo Villero, 2020 (1.5L)
Villero is all about the slow burn. It’s one of Barolo’s most classic crus—right in the heart of Castiglione Falletto—and Brovia knows how to draw out every layer without rushing things. In magnum, the 2020 is even more of a patient masterpiece: more time to age, more room to breathe, more wine to love.
Compared to Brovia’s Ca’ Mia (which is all dark power), Villero leans more savory and detailed. You get dried cherry, rose, and sweet tobacco, but also deeper notes of leather, dried herbs, and iron. The tannins are firm, but there’s precision in the way they land—like an old-school tailor doing sharp work.
The 2020 vintage gives it just enough softness to keep things approachable now, especially with a good decant. But honestly? This is a magnum made for the cellar. Five years from now, it’ll start singing. Ten years? Even better.
Pop it for birthdays, anniversaries, truffle season, or just because you finally made it to Friday and want to drink something epic with pasta.
