2014 Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Perno Vigna Santo Stefano

From the celebrated vineyard site in Monforte d'Alba, the 2014 Barolo Perno is very in line with the vintage. By that I mean that the wine is streamlined in terms of its consistency and marked in terms of the acidic freshness and tannic bite it offers. The 2014 Barolos tend to be more rigid but also more compact, and that's the impression I get here. The best part of this beautiful wine is the sharp mineral note that appears on the finish. It serves to elegantly tie up any loose ends. Review Date: June 2019
