Notes
Castello di Perno is located in the heart of the Langhe region, producing elegant and traditional Barolo that captures the essence of Nebbiolo and its ability to reflect the unique terroir of the area. This wine is made from select Nebbiolo grapes, showcasing the power, structure, and refinement for which Barolo is famous. Castello di Perno emphasizes a classic approach, with extended aging in large oak casks, allowing the wine to develop complexity and depth over time. On the nose, the Castello di Perno Barolo reveals classic aromas of rose petals, dried cherry, and wild raspberry, layered with notes of tar, licorice, and a hint of truffle. There are also subtle hints of earth, tobacco, and dried herbs that add to the wine’s complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity, delivering flavors of ripe red fruit, plum, and cranberry, complemented by savory notes of leather, spice, and forest floor. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of balsamic, anise, and a mineral edge that speaks to the wine’s terroir.
