The 2008 Barolo San Giuseppe is gorgeous in this vintage. Plums, black cherries, incense, menthol, tar and licorice are all woven together in this huge, dark wine. The 2008 boasts stunning inner sweetness, great purity and fabulous overall balance. Firm yet beautifully integrated tannins support layers of dark, textured fruit in this big, full-bodied wine. The marriage of fruit, acidity and structure is terrific. This vivid, harmonious Barolo suggests Pecchenino is quickly moving in the right direction with their Baroli. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
