Villadoria 2007 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
There’s a succulent, sweet element here that resembles Christmas spice or cinnamon roll. Behind that curtain of spice, concentration and intensity are elegant tones of black licorice, cassis, plum and toasted nut. Try this wine with honey-roasted ham embedded with clove.

Villadoria 1995 Nebbiolo (Serralunga D'Alba)
- Best Buy
A nicely balanced wine with cherry perfume and tobacco notes. Very faint orange color at the edge and orangey aromatics on the nose. Spice and dried-fruit flavors on the palate, with a nice mouthfeel. Full, even tannins on the finish. Fairly evolved for its age, it is showing well now and will be even better in two years.

Villadoria 1997 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $23
An array of stimulating aromas of tar, dill and salinity. The flavors are beefy—like dried meats with a touch of steak sauce. The mouthfeel is juicy; the finish tart. Try with grilled meats.

Villadoria 2008 Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
Here is a tight, traditional expression of Nebbiolo with a streamlined mouthfeel that is peppered with ripe fruit, licorice and root beer aromas. There’s a note of bitterness and astringency on the close that will soften with time. Drink after 2018.

Villadoria 1999 Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- $21
Herbal and peppery on the nose, this is a lean, hard, tannic wine that some tasters felt would blossom in time, while others questioned its balance. If you buy it, give it a good long time in the cellar, then write us a letter and tell us who was right.

Villadoria 1997 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba Superiore)
- $10
A very accessible Barbera. Not overly astringent, reflecting both the fine vintage and the recent evolution of Barbera winemaking. Shows dark cherry, tar, and chocolate aromas and flavors. Very nice balance and mouthfeel. Closes with a dry, even finish that expands to show dried-fruit and leathery notes.

Villadoria 1999 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba Superiore)
- Best Buy
- $9
The bouquet is earthy, with aromas of bacon, wood, root beer and raisins. Conversely, the palate is fairly sharp, with a tart center of pie cherry and rhubarb. But the finish is open and airy, and as a whole this wine is solid and should work well with food.

Villadoria 2000 Arneis (Roero Arneis)
- $9
Light floral aromas fade with airing. Flavors of lemon and cabbage lead into a sharp finish. Sour and strange, and just not that good.
