Bongiovanni Barolo Pernanno 2000
Castiglione Falletto, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyPernanno is made from selected Nebbiolo fruit that comes off a single plot within the estate's finest vineyard. The grapes are left on the vines for several extra days after the regular Barolo is harvested, for even greater concentration. Look for cola, spicy, rootsy, very peppery, shoe leather notes mixed with mineral and hot cherry jam aromas. Rich, concentrated and ripe with good finesse and tight tannins. Intense clove, tarry, vanilla, spicy, black cherry flavours with some coffee and violet on the finish. Good length and intensity but tight. This will need five to eight years to open up or more.Tasted: 04 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $89.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Empson (Canada) Inc. |
