Of Manzone's four San Stefano di Perno vintages, 2001 is the one with the most road left: a year that delivered ripeness and structure in the same breath, which is rare in Barolo and why the vintage is still talked about. The cru is the Santo Stefano flank on the west side of Monforte d'Alba's Perno hill, a hilltop site whose Diano sandstone gives rounder, more fruit-forward wine than the commune's tougher slopes; in a year with this much backbone underneath, that roundness reads as balance rather than softness. Everything is traditional, with a month or more of fermentation on the skins, roughly thirty months in large Slavonian casks, no new French oak, unfined and unfiltered, and it is a cru the estate no longer bottles. At twenty-five years it sits squarely in its window and is in no hurry. From a private cellar; stand the bottle upright, decant an hour ahead, and it will hold comfortably for another decade.

"Manzone's 2001 Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno, a medium ruby, reveals a nose of spices, toasted oak and herbs, with a slightly medicinal character that is typical of this site. It offers notes of ripe dark cherry fruit and minerals, with good sustain and depth, finishing rich and long." —Antonio Galloni

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato al Barolo, tajarin with ragù, roast squab, or aged Castelmagno.

Tasting Profile

Rose petal, sour cherry, tar, sweet tobacco and a little truffle. Medium-full and well-knit, with fresh acidity and fine tannin still holding shape. Long, savory finish with real lift.
