For those of you who want to know what Barolo was like decades ago when it was an insiders' wine, before it became coveted like it is now, well, this is it. - Antonio Galloni

The 2016 Barolo Riserva Perno is a gorgeous, beguiling wine. Deeply floral and spiced, with striking transparency, the 2016 has so much going on. All the elements come together effortlessly in a Barolo of statuesque, riveting beauty. This classically austere, young Barolo is going to require cellaring. It is a very special Barolo in the making Readers lucky enough to own it are in for a real treat.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Elio Sandri's 2017 Barolo Perno is fabulous. More than anything else, I am struck by the wine's freshness and energy, both of which are hard to find in this torrid, dry year Crushed flowers, raspberry, mint, cinnamon and blood orange lend notable energy and tension throughout. This is an absolutely stunning wine by any measure. The only thing it needs is time. Production is down about 20% because of severe selection. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
