The 2020 Barolo la Villa strikes an engaging chord with a nose rich in baking spices, cracked pepper, and dried herbs, grounded by an undercurrent of forest floor and the black-raspberry preserves. It fills the mouth with density, brimming with ripe red berries, yet remains lifted with tannins that are sweet and well-integrated, lending a structure that frames the fruit without diminishing its vibrancy. This wine delivers an intriguing contrast, offering a different nuance with each sip. Drink now through 2045. 94 points rated by Antonio Galloni
