Fratelli Seghesio Barolo Vigneto la Villa

96/100 PP Seghesio's 1990 La Villa is another blockbuster Barolo from this incredible vintage. Its massive size and awesome aging potential are typical of many Barolos from Monforte d'Alba. The opaque dark purple color, stunning nose, and sweet black fruits are followed by a full-throttle, large-scaled wine with spectacular concentration. For its immense size the wine is extraordinarily well-balanced, with plenty of sweet fruit, as well as high but ripe tannin. Drink it between 1999-2025. (Robert M. Parker, Jr., robertparker.com) It takes its name from an area of the Cru of Castelletto. The selected grapes in the oldest part of the vineyard enable to obtain a full-bodied wine. The colour is garnet red with orange reflections. The bouquet is complex, it ranges from liquorice to the jam. This elegant wine is aged in French barriques and in large oak barrels.
