Elio Sandri Barolo Riserva Perno 2015 (750ML)

96 WE / 95 VM

Structured and balanced, this delicious red is full of soul. It delivers aromas and flavors of blue flowers, ripe red berries, licorice and saline alongside firm but refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it impeccably balanced while a mineral note of rusty nail adds depth. A fantastic red loaded with personality and finesse. Drink 2025–2040. Kerin O'Keefe- Wine Enthusiast

Sandri’s 2015 Barolo Riserva Perno opens with a striking bouquet laced with rosewater, mint, pine and blood orange. The proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove, the 2015 packs a serious punch behind its deceptively mid-weight personality. The 2015 is surprisingly accessible (in relative terms) for a young Sandri Barolo. It can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring, but will be even better in a few years’ time. This super-classic, mid-weight Barolo is so alluring.-- Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
