The 2021 Barolo Perno is every bit as compelling as it was when I tasted it a few months ago, maybe even a little more so! Soaring aromatics and silky tannins frame a core of pure red/purplish fruit. This is only the fourth vintage for Ca' di Press, and yet in that short time, the wines have gained in finesse through gentler extraction and a gentler oak imprint. Of course, the strong vintage helps as well. This gorgeous, translucent Barolo is utterly sublime. The 2021 is a wine of extreme finesse and beguiling beauty. I would love to own it. 2027 - 2046
