This 2021 Barolo Perno Vigna Santo Stefano, from a legendary producer, is exceptionally youthful and structured. Expect an intense bouquet of tart red fruits like sour cherry and raspberry, complemented by elegant floral notes of dried rose, licorice, and distinctive savory undertones of tar, dried herbs, and truffle. On the palate, it is full-bodied with formidable, grippy tannins and vibrant acidity, indicating significant aging potential. The finish is long and complex, promising greater depth with time.
