Barolo Riserva Villero Vietti 1996 is a monumental Italian red wine produced only in the most exceptional vintages from the Villero vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. This 100% Nebbiolo was matured for years in oak and bottle before release, resulting in a brooding profile of tar, roses and dark balsamic fruits. The 1996 vintage is legendary in Piedmont for its immense structural power and longevity, and this Riserva remains a giant, with firm tannins and a mineral-driven finish. It is a profound, meditative wine that continues to showcase the pedigree of the Vietti estate.
