Santo Stefano di Perno Barolo Nebbiolo
Seemed tired when first poured but blossomed in the glass.

May 14th, 2022Full-bodied, slightly smoky Barolo that is in perfect balance. Silky smooth, with tannins that are integrating well. Dark cherry with dried violets... this is not a feminine Barbaresco (a personal favorite), but is still so so good. Thanks to Austin Wine Merchant for having a 2013 in stock. Wish my wine friends were with me in Austin to enjoy. A monster wine... give this one time.

Jan 29th, 2020A perplexing wine for me! Expected so much more! It was soooo silky and easy to drink with just floral and strawberry notes. Almost too easy drinking that it didn’t seem like Barolo... nothing like I had ever tasted. Although it wasn’t “typical” it went down real easy and was on my mind all day! 🙄
