Giuseppe Mascarello & Figlio - Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno 2018 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
This item is available for pre-arrival.
Perno is located in the eastern side of the commune of Monforte d’Alba, noted for having more compact and dark soils, giving wines more complexity. The Mascarello winery owns about one hectare in the best exposed part of the vineyard, the Santo Stefano sub-zone, with vines still planted with the old Nebbiolo clone “Michet”, renowned for yielding juicier wines, with primary aromas and sweeter tannins. The wine in this case was aged for 3 years in medium-large casks. Ripe with macerated plum and cherry flavors this red also evokes eucalyptus iron tar and tobacco notes. It's firm and dense with a mix of savory and fruity elements on the ironclad finish.
