The 1999 Barolo La Villa comes from the township of Barolo and could easily be called a Cannubi. Spicier than the Serralunga and with more personality in its wild cherry, anise, and cedar aromatics, it is supple, round, and deceptively tasty, yet there is plenty of substance and weight in its flavors and fine complexity in the chocolate, tar, and licorice finish and aftertaste. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
