This 2019 Barolo Perno from Paolo Giordano, made from 100% Nebbiolo, presents a powerful and complex profile characteristic of young Barolo. On the nose, expect intense aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and rose petals, evolving into more savory notes of tar, licorice, and damp earth with aeration. The palate is firm and structured, with high acidity and robust, grippy tannins that frame a core of concentrated red fruit. A long, persistent finish hints at great aging potential, promising further development of tertiary notes like truffle and leather.
