Cascina Bongiovanni Barolo Pernanno 1999

Castiglione Falletto, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyWow what a great bottle of Barolo. Forget the big dry wines of the past. Pernanno is made from select Nebbiolo fruit from one particular plot within the estate's finest vineyard. Fabulous 35 year-old ripe fruit flavours dominate the palate of a wine only made in exceptional years. The style is neither old nor new -- perfect comes to mind. Buy and hold for five to seven years.Tasted: 07 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
