Pecchenino 2012 Le Coste di Monforte (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Le Coste di Monforte
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont

This opens with funky aromas of game, scorched soil, roasted herb and a whiff of barnyard. The palate is on the raw side, showing sour cherry and a sprinkling of white pepper framed in raspy tannins.
