The perfect exposure of the vineyard, along with the specific features of climate and soil, leads to an extremely elegant and long-lived wine. ![](https://www.montaribaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Vini-di-vigna-300x300.png) ![](https://www.montaribaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/barolo-perno-325x750.png) **VINEYARD** **Position:** Monforte d’Alba municipality; **Vineyard:** Perno; **Grape varietal: **Nebbiolo; Altitude: 395mt above the sea level; **Exposure:** south; **Geological origin: **S.

[ Download ](https://www.montaribaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Perno_EN.pdf) **VINIFICATION** The Nebbiolo is a late-ripening grape varietal. It has to be harvested between the end of September and the first ten days of October. Once at the winery, grapes are destemmed crushed and then sent to stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks where the alcoholic fermentation take place. This lasts at least one week at temperature of 28-30 °C.  After racking and pouring, the wine remains in contact with its lees (temperature of 20-22 °C) for at least two months while it completes the malo-lactic fermentation.  Now the wine is ready to start the refining, which lasts about 38 months and which is partly done in wooden barrels. Eventually, after 3 years from the harvest, the Barolo DOCG Perno is bottled and, after at least further months of storage in our cellar, it is ready to be released on the market.    **ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE** **Colour:** garnet red with orange reflexes; **Bouquet:** intense with hints of wood, ripe fruit and spices; **Taste: **full and persistent. Tannins are austere, but not bitter nor setting your mouth on edge.    **FOOD PAIRINGS** Because of its features this wine is perfect to be matched with meat, roasted meat and savory cheese. Serving temperature: 18 °C ### CRITICAL ACCLAIM The quality of our wines begins in the vineyard, yet finds its confirmation in the judgment of experts.
