Barolo

Producer: Podere Ruggeri Corsini
Vintage: 2007
Region: Piemonte
Sub-Region: Barolo DOCG
Varietal: Nebbiolo (100%)
Color: Red

Arguably the best Barolo for the price, San Pietro has a gorgeous aroma of rose, flowers and ripe dark fruit. The structure has fine tannins and oak. This wine is still young and will mature much more over time.

"Ripe berry and mature fruit aromas of prune and candied cherry open the bouquet of this lovely, garnet-colored Barolo. The wine offers excellent intensity and depth with what can best be described as a lively mouthfeel. Indeed, this wine exudes life, health and brightness." Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points

"Blackberry on the nose, with flowers and hints of vanilla bean. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, delicious fruit and a soft, caressing texture. Best after 2010. 480 cases made." Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points

"Youthful and bright now, this elegant wine will surely benefit from five to ten more years of cellar aging. At this point, the wine is very focused on oak-driven aromas of spice, cedar, chocolate, old leather and toasted nut but the quality of the fruit comes through. Drink with succulent red meats."
