Pecchenino Barolo San Giuseppe 2018
$62
This silky Barolo is marked by macerated cherry, strawberry, rose hip and a hint of tamarind. The tannins are interwoven so well, this is almost seamless. Very drinkable now, yet the compact finish suggests waiting a few years. Fine length. Best from 2025 through 2040. 800 cases made, 300 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
