The 2018 Pecchenino 'San Giuseppe' Barolo is all organically and sustainably farmed (although they are not certified) and this gorgeously plush and richly complex Barolo is a total home run! Aged in only large oak casks and cement to preserve the incredible freshness and vividly pure black cherry and plum fruits at the core of this fabulous steal! Aromas of purple flowers, tilled earth, and exotic spices continually seem to open with every passing minute.  Waves of licorice and graphite notes glide along on fails of muscular yet fabulously ripe tannin that make this Barolo an approachable gem in the decanter but that is also a wine that will develop amazingly over the next 15 years if you can keep your hands off! Every review talks about the fine and perfectly integrated tannins in this fabulously plush Barolo and I could not agree more!

 

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

This silky Barolo is marked by macerated cherry, strawberry, rose hip and a hint of tamarind. The tannins are interwoven so well, this is almost seamless. Very drinkable now, yet the compact finish suggests waiting a few years. Fine length. Best from 2025 through 2040.

Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points

Smoky incense lifts from the 2018 Barolo San Giuseppe, followed by notes of palo santo, sage, and red cherry. Medium bodied on the palate, with fine but present tannins and notes of pomegranate, tea leaf, and orange rind, it is attractive and structured for the vintage. Drink 2025-2040.

James Suckling: 93 Points

Lots of forest floor and mild spice to the dried-cherry notes on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with a tight, focused core of dried red fruit and an underlay of very fine tannins. Tight finish. Tasty and racy. The tannins pull on the finish for now. Give it until 2024 to unwind a little.

Wine Advocate: 92 Points

The 2018 Barolo San Giuseppe is bright and nicely aromatic with dried raspberry, candied cherry, violet and powdery earth. This medium-bodied Barolo ends with smoothness and finely integrated tannins that give an extra push in terms of mouthfeel and finish.
