Note di degustazione
Good full red. Deep, ripe nose combines medicinal cherry, mocha and licorice, lifted by aromatic herbs and a whiff of black pepper. Bigger, richer and more stuffed with material to handle its acids than the Villero; in a distinctly more masculine style. This has excellent palate presence, but the juicy, tight finish shows some herbal and peppery elements that will require extended aging.

The 2007 Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno rarely gets mentioned in a discussion of this great property but several recent vintages have been outstanding, which is the case with the 2007 as well. Sweet dark cherries, menthol, pine, minerals and flowers are some of the notes that flesh out in the glass. The 2007 is a striking Santo Stefano di Perno loaded with site specific detail but with an extra layer of richness that is the signature of the year. Clean, mineral notes frame the energetic, vibrant finish. This is every bit as fabulous as it was from barrel.

This is a stellar showing from Mauro and Giuseppe Mascarello. The 2007 Baroli are stunning now that they are in bottle, but the Barberas are equally worthy of attention. As always, the style is very traditional, but in 2007 the steady warmth of the vintage has given the wines an extra dimension of fleshiness. The 2007 Monprivato in particular is shaping up to be another legendary Barolo from Mascarello. Importers: Doug Polaner, Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel.

The 2007 Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno is undeniably sexy in this vintage. Inviting aromatics meld seamlessly into a core of expressive dark fruit. This, too, is a hugely promising Barolo.
