Poderi Luigi Einaudi – Barolo Villero – 2019
In the municipality of Castiglione Falletto among the various hills there is one that stands out from the others, it is Villero, considered one of the most elegant expressions for Barolo produced only by a few famous wineries. A vineyard with a sandy composition in the subsoil along with marly layers, the exposure tends to the southwest with 40-year-old plants from which about 3500 bottles are made. Fermentation and maceration on the skins for 25 days in temperature-controlled cement tanks and then classic aging in large oak barrels for 24 months. Endowed with a discreet tannicity you can wait for many years to understand its evolution, already from a young age it releases beautiful aromas of fruit and spice with fresh and velvety drinking from which a refined structure is perceived.

Description
Podere Luigi Einaudi is the historical winery founded by the first President Luigi Einaudi in the town of Dogliani. Despite his political activity in Rome, he never missed any harvest, and he entrusted the management of his farms and vineyards to sharecroppers.
He was one of the first to bet everything on agriculture, realizing he could lift his home Piedmont from the crisis by giving work to local people to manage his lands. Since his death, the winery was managed by his sons and nephews, up to now with the presence of his nephew Matteo Sardagna Einaudi. The winery made history by aiming high and by bringing in the world the typical Dogliani’s grape: Dolcetto!
With the new generations they bought farms in the area of Barbaresco and Barolo in order to produce the renowned and austere Nebbiolo in its different forms of appellation. The style in the cellar is rather traditional leaving room for some avant-garde techniques for the cleaning and vinification of the wine, such as the temperature controlled cement tanks.
