The San Pietro cru delivers dark, structured fruit with an immediate or accessible approach. This is especially true with the 2011 Barolo Riserva San Pietro that was born in a very warm growing season. The bouquet is redolent of ripe fruit, plum, blackberry and cassis. That ripe primary fruit is enhanced by savory tones of spice and grilled herb. The tannins are well integrated and velvety in texture. Bottle production is 3,075 units strong, with 127 magnums.
