The average age of the vines is 39 years old and the density is of 4,000 plants per hectare. In the 2007 vintage wine yield was 30 hectoliters per hectare. After the alcoholic fermentation in steel tank that lasts 16 days at a temperature of between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius, the wine macerates on the skins for a total of 10 days.

Vietti’s 2007 Barolo Riserva Villero is a flat out stunner. Dark red fruit, Villero spices, leather, tobacco, smoke and menthol come alive in a rich, sensual Barolo that captures the essence of this site. Rose petals, mint and sweet red berries flesh out an inviting wine loaded with class and personality. Over time, the powerful, explosive style of the year becomes more evident. The fruit turns darker, more balsamic and also more intensely mineral.
