$68
This beautiful wine shows all the rare characteristics required for long aging potential. There’s structure, acidity, minerality and loads of plush, ripe fruit—tones that will evolve in ten years or more. The wine opens with a dark garnet color and bright aromas of cherry, cassis, cola and soy sauce.

Putting your nose into a glass of Oddero Barolo Villero is like sniffing a handful of Langhe soil. This wine speaks highly of its territory with aromas of smoke, earth, forest berry, white truffle, hazelnut, cola, root beer, humus and dried apple skins. In the mouth, the tannins are impressively polished and fine.
