Barolo Perno

Full

Cork

A brand new bottling from the highest point of the sprawling subdistrict of Perno at 450 metres above sea level, where Fortemasso’s small plot of less than one hectare yields loose bunches of small berries, giving palpable concentration. A dense cherry nose is adorned with clove, nutmeg and alpine herbs. Robust and compact rather than round, it plumbs iron and dark chocolate at its depths. Tenacious tannins cut quite a swath, and it is balanced in its proportions but needs to digest its oak and settle into its frame. A very amaro finish. This won’t be released until early 2027.
