Giuseppe
Mascarello was in town to promote their
Monforte d’Alba single
vineyard wine
Santo Stefano di Perno to BBR staff. As way of comparison
the wine was tasted alongside their Castiglione Falletto vineyard
wine
Monprivato.
From elevated, deep, ancient iron rich clay & sandstone soils, the Santo
Stefano is a more classic Barolo with brooding sage, tar & roses aromatics
& dense, succulent, balsamic & strawberry flavours. The warmer,
lighter, younger white calcareous soils of Monprivato dispayed more floral
raspberry notes; Gevrey-Chambertin plays Chambolle-Musigny if you like.
