The 2016's are Stunning Pure Expressions of Nebbiolo! Every one Unique & Full of Personality!

Perno is the only Cru's from the Commune of Monforte d'Alba.

Excellent, immediately took me to the 2010 Riserva. Wonderful density. Every sniff sees another scent wafting out of the glass. The tannins show the benefit of a long ripening season. Yes, they have structure, they are damn fine tannins of exceptional depth and length. Hints of tobacco, earth, savoury bits and such a long deep core of fruit. This will develop beautifully. 

Light, tight and teasingly fragrant. Very typical Perno; aromatics jostling with tannins. Cherry liqueur, sandalwood, menthol, violet and blueberry. Very Monforte tannins sit straight up, grippy and chalky in the mouth. Power and finesse, but barely useable just yet. Very long life here.
