Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Perno is the sort of wine you want to open and spend many hours with. Initially the tannins are searing, but over time the 2015 starts to come together. Scents of tobacco, cedar, dried cherry, mint and leather open gradually. On the palate, though, the wine is much less forthcoming. The 2015 is a Barolo of beguiling complexity and nuance that will give everything it has to offer on its own time schedule.

The 2015 Barolo Perno is a classic Elio Sandri wine full of idiosyncratic character. All the natural richness of the year comes through, and yet there is plenty of freshness and verve as well. Rose petals, mint and orange peel are some of the notes that give the 2015 its exotic, beguiling beauty. Powerful, layered and wonderfully inviting, the 2015 is a gorgeous wine in every way.
