The single-vineyard 1999 Barolo Pernanno, is significantly darker in color than the regular bottling, balsamic in aroma, but with an important vanilla and incense contribution from the oak, fleshy and substantial on the palate with sweet tannins and a pleasurably velvet texture. Already drinking well, it should evolve beautifully until 2018. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
