Livia Fontana, Barolo Villero other_regions_italy powerful and rugged medium fullLivia Fontana, aided by her two sons, produces Barolo from Bussia in Monforte, and also this Villero from Castiglione Falletto. The prettiness of the nose, with its fragrant rose and raspberry aromas, is often typical of Villero, which has fairly sandy soils.
