Tasting Note:
The 2020 Barolo Perno Vigna Santo Stefano is a deep and structured Nebbiolo that captures Monforte’s power with striking finesse. Aromas of dried rose, cherry, and raspberry are layered with tobacco, licorice, and earthy spice. On the palate, it’s muscular yet poised, with dense red fruit, firm tannins, and vibrant acidity that carries through a long, savory finish marked by tar and mineral grip. A cru Barolo of real pedigree, built to age gracefully for decades.
