Viberti San Pietro Barolo Riserva, Piedmont, Italy 2016

Description

Wine Advocate 95

"The 2016 Barolo Riserva San Pietro opens to a medium saturation with dark ruby and garnet. This Nebbiolo from the village of Barolo offers some balsam notes that are rounded off in this case by dry tobacco and pressed roses. The tannins are dry, but the wine maintains pretty silkiness throughout. Like the other Riserva releases from this estate, production is 3,070 bottles and 127 magnums. Drink: 2024 - 2038."

James Suckling 94

"Iron, raw meat with a fine mineral quality to the red cherries and cranberries. Really juicy and bright on the palate with powerful yet fine, chalky tannins and a layered finish. Pure and transparent in soul with fine Barolo structure and austerity. Already drinkable now, but give it one or two more years."
