Pecchenino "Le Coste di Monforte" Barolo 2019

Wine Spectator : 95 Points

(12/31/2024) A beam of pure cherry anchors this rich, fleshy red. Strawberry, iron, tobacco, wild thyme and rosemary flavors chime in, all supported by a line of dusty tannins. Best from 2027 through 2047. 800 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Wine Advocate : 93 Points

(8/24/2023) The Pecchenino 2019 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte (with 4,500 bottles made) reveals a smoky character with campfire ash and toasted spice. At its core, the wine shows dark fruit and plum that dovetails into a medium-thick textural build. You have the structural momentum of the vintage with a more open-knit and accessible side for medium-term drinking. Drink Date: 2024 - 2038.

James Suckling : 93 Points

(6/23/2023) Tar and roses with freshly sliced plums and some cherries. Medium-bodied with racy tannins that are chewy. Juicy underneath. Drink after 2026.
