In the glass, Borgogno and Carbone's Barolo 'Perno Vigna Santo Stefano' reveals a luminous garnet-red coat. The olfactory panorama is complex and deep, described by scents of small red fruits, cherries under spirits, rose petals, dried violets, balsamic herbs, cocoa, leather and dark spices. The progression on the palate shows good warmth and roundness, elements that combine with bright freshness and intense, well-integrated tannins in an austere and elegant development of great persistence.

Borgogno and Carbone Barolo 'Perno Vigna Santo Stefano' is a pure Nebbiolo from old vines raised within the Vigna Santo Stefano, in the Additional Geographical Mention of Perno, on sandy, clay and limestone soils. The vines are located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level and, in addition, benefit from excellent southwest exposure. After manual harvesting, the grapes are melded in stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins entrusted to the intervention of only indigenous yeasts. This is followed by aging for 24 months in large oak barrels and then a further rest of at least 6 months in the bottle before final release.
