Oreste Stefano, Barolo "Perno" 2017 Description Producer: Oreste Stefano Wine: Barolo “Perno” Vintage: 2017 Number of Bottles: 4 Size: 0.75L Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo Aging: aged for 18 months in 10-year-old Slavonian oak barrels Alc.: 14,5% Oreste Stefano’s 2014 "Perno" is a Barolo crafted in the classic, traditional style of the Langhe, made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Perno *cru* in Monforte d'Alba. Stefano employs exclusively spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts and uncontrolled temperatures; for aging, he uses only large, old Slavonian oak casks, where the wine matures for 18 months. Visually, the 2014 Barolo Perno displays a ruby ​​red color with garnet hues, while the nose offers aromas of violet, raspberry, and tobacco. On the palate, it is structured yet elegant, characterized by silky tannins that make it enjoyable even in its youth, though it fully reveals its potential after a few years of aging.
