Elio Sandri, Perno Vigna Disa Riserva Vintage:2018 Delightful rather than compelling but

Delightful rather than compelling but this is so exuberant yet fine that it’s impossible not to like

This is a fine Gevrey villages that should drink well young if desired

Knockout aromas reminiscent of a great mature Burgundy

The warmth of the vintage is felt in the wine’s contours and early appeal

I suspect this will come close to the quality of the Hill of Grace at a fraction of the price

Elio Sandri, Perno Vigna Disa Riserva Vintage:2018 Delightful rather than compelling butThe 2018 Barolo Riserva Perno Vigna Disa, the top wine here, is beguiling, exotic and full of character. Ripe red cherry fruit, blood orange, chinato, herbs, spice, mint, white pepper and a whole range of balsamic inflections all grace this exquisite, layered Barolo. Like all the 2018s here, the Vigna Disa shows the lighter side of the vintage, but it does so in style. What a gorgeous wine this is.
