An attractive mix of fruity and savory elements marks this fluid Barolo. Beginning to hit its stride, with cherry and plum flavors offset by iron, eucalyptus and juniper. Hints of tar and licorice chime in as this builds to the long, detailed aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2042.

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.

Tar and roses with freshly sliced plums and some cherries. Medium-bodied with racy tannins that are chewy. Juicy underneath. Drink after 2026.
