Pecchenino's 2019 Barolo is austere at first, unfolding into complex floral and red fruit with liquorice and tobacco, a wine that announces itself on the palate with ripe reds and taut, compact tannin. Vibrant acidity and fine structure make this elegant Nebbiolo classically proportioned, refined without softness.
Tasting Notes
Intense garnet red in color. The nose, initially austere, recalls complex floral and red fruit notes, liquorice, spice and tobacco. The palate is fine with sensations of ripe red fruits. The taut and compact tannin makes the wine very classic. Vibrant and vertical acidity. Extremely elegant and refined

Jeb DunnuckComing from the southern sector of Bussia, the 2021 Barolo Bussia pours a deeper ruby hue and offers aromas of cherries, medicinal herbs, and earthy spice. Medium-bodied yet more substantial than the San Giuseppe, it offers greater depth in its sanguine notes, refined tannins, and balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent with impressive purity. This was one of my favorites at the tastin
About the Producer
The Pecchenino winery has always been at its core, a family business. Currently the winery is run by Orlando and Attilio Pecchenino, the grandchildren of Attilio Pecchenino.
The first documentation of winemaking activity during the end of the 20th century, when the winery, managed by their grandfather Attilio, had little more than 8 hectares. In the 1970s, the reins of the winery passed into the hands of his son Marino and later, at the end of the 1980s in line with the generational changeover, his sons Orlando and Attilio took over the business.
