Barolo Pernanno is Cascina Bongiovanni's flagship single-vineyard Barolo, sourced from the estate's namesake cru in the heart of Castiglione Falletto — sandy soils with a south-east exposure that give the Nebbiolo both grip and freshness. Just under 2 hectares yield roughly 5,000 bottles a year. Aged in French oak (a mix of barrique and larger casks) for about 24 months plus further bottle age, it has drawn strong scores from James Suckling, Wine Spectator, and Vinous for its balance of power and elegance.
Pernanno is the estate's true showpiece — critically acclaimed by James Suckling, Wine Spectator, and Vinous alike, and a wine every serious Barolo collector should seek out.
