Pecchenino – Barolo San Giuseppe 2020 (750ml)

Description

Winemaker Notes

On the nose there are hints of plum, raspberry, ripe red and black cherry, blackberry, and licorice. The palate is classic: rich and powerful with silky, well-integrated tannins.

Pair this wine with pasta with meat sauce, braised or roasted red meats, and aged cheeses.

Professional Ratings

• 94James SucklingSubtle aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, dried roses, stones and pink peppercorns. Juicy and savory with a medium body. It has firm structure that builds up on the palate. Dense and meaty with a lingering aftertaste. Try from 2028.
• 93VinousThe 2020 Barolo San Giuseppe is redolent of dark cherry, gravel, incense, leather, game and dried herbs. Potent yet dynamic in the glass, the 2020 has a lot to offer. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so, its considerable power notwithstanding.
• 93Jeb DunnuckRipe ruby red, the 2020 Barolo San Giuseppe is expressive on opening, with fruity and floral notes of wild raspberry preserve, wet stone, fresh lavender, and sweet herbs. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate, it has ripe tannins, a weightless feel, and a clean finish, retaining its elegant and refreshing feel. Drink 2024-2034.
• 93Wine SpectatorA beam of pure cherry marks this ripe, round red. Supple, picking up earth, iron and savory underbrush notes as this winds down on the long aftertaste. Balanced and overall feels elegant despite the solid base of tannins. Best from 2028 through 2045. 6,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.
• 90Wine EnthusiastThe wine boasts a profile of dark fruits that are both lush and rounded, creating a sense of opulence. The texture is plush and the overall impression is one of prettiness and approachability. A hint of dried leaf graces the fine finish, adding an elegant touch to the wine’s well-crafted balance.
