Decanted 2 hours and had with a turkey Wellington. Drank a bit dead. I think it’s in a period where the primary flavors have fallen off and the secondary and tertiary flavors are a bit obscure still. Walnut and tar, pleasant acidity, felt like it was just caught on the wrong foot. (525 views) | | | Tasted by mimik on 11/4/2022 & rated 91 points: 2013 Pecchenino Barolo San Guiseppe- elegant, poised on the palate with seamless tannins. A tad young but very seductive in the glass. Nose a but reticent but give it 5 more years and it should be singing. (1280 views) | | | Tasted by mreinhard74@gmail.com on 4/15/2022 & rated 92 points: Can sit another decade (1249 views) | | | Tasted by LEEJV123 on 2/27/2022 & rated 88 points: Medium full body, a bit austere, not much length. (1277 views) | | | Tasted by Vince_chip on 9/5/2020 & rated 88 points: Goûté dans les stations de dégustation à la SAQ il y a plus d’un an, je l’avais trouvé bien meilleur à l’époque.
Tanins secs, fruits moyennement mûrs, le vin semble vert et un peu raide.
A essayer dans plusieurs années, peut être a-t-il besoin de passer une décennie en bouteille. (2859 views) | | | Tasted by Rosebud-OH on 2/19/2020 & rated 90 points: Opened and let breath in bottle 15-20 minutes. Decanted for another 15-20 minutes.
Nice Barolo aroma.
Respectable well rounded Barolo.
Ready to drink, but could lay down for a while and possibly develop more. (2828 views) | | | Tasted by Andrew.Koss on 6/2/2019 & rated 91 points: Decanted for 2 hours. Velvety smooth and very Italian. For me quite a bit of vanilla and soft sweetness in the finish. Definitely young but delicious. (3021 views) | | | Tasted by TannicBeast on 4/26/2019: Had just a small tasting sample, so no formal TN. Good, but still too young to really show its best. (2536 views) | | | Tasted by Motz on 3/17/2019 & rated 93 points: Drank over two days. Rustic Barolo to the core! While the wine features copious purple and black fruits, no element can be described as pretty, or charming. Instead, the wine features an appealing Sulphur, tar, creosote-like stink, ripe sap, herbal essences, and gripping mineral and metallic ore depth. It held form over both days, an indication of its youth. It needs several years to unwind and improvement is likely. 93-94. (3105 views) | | | Tasted by whits on 10/19/2018 & rated 91 points: decanted for 2 hours, nice expression of rose and tar on the nose, structured, elegant power, tight, round core of dark fruit, nuances of dried cherries, herbs, stone and wood carry off the finish, this will be spectacular with some cellar time, right now it just continues to get better every minute with air, so you can take your time if consuming soon (2621 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 8/30/2018 & rated 89 points: Bu en succ.
Pas méchant mais leur Langue en donne autant pour la moitié!
Nez fin sur les fleurs surtout.
En bouche, un peu austère et asséchant, le fruit est en retrait.
Long et un peu sur la chauffe.
Possiblement un peu jeune...à revoir. (2799 views) | | | Tasted by thesternowl on 5/2/2018: Popped and poured; shared between four of us and therefore this really didn't get the time in the glass that this probably ought to have deserved. That being said, no reasonable amount of time would have helped considering how tight and unwilling this bottle seemed. After all, it is very young. However, the little that was on display was quite exciting. There is a powerful core of dark fruit and potentially the most obvious expression of roses I have yet encountered in a Barolo. Dark, zippy fruits on the palate but that's really about it right now. Long-ish finis. Structure for days. If I were going to open another bottle, I would probably allow myself several hours for contemplation. That being said, my remaining bottle won't be opened until well after 2020. This San Giuseppe should be really lovely stuff down the road. (3037 views) | | | Tasted by Andre Brattland on 2/28/2018 & rated 90 points: Denne Baroloen fra den lille San Giuseppe-vinmarken er relativt konsentrert og fyrrig på nesen med mørkere frukt enn forventet med plommer, krydder og bittelitt søtladen lakris.
På paletten er vinen konsentrert og brer seg rundt med kraftig mørk frukt som er badet i mørk kaffe og lær. Ikke noe roser her nei, og skulle de ha vært der er de visnet i møte med de faste tanninene. Denne er en seriøs tradisjonsrik Barolo som ikke er for de sarte sjeler, men for de maskuline karene som vil ha Barolo til biffen. Bra vin, om ikke akkurat tidenes harmoniserte eksemplar. (2749 views) | | | Tasted by retired_and_roving on 11/22/2017: From the wine list at Renato e Luisa (Rome). This was enjoyable with the food, but probably way to young for optimal consumption yet. Dark fruits, (blackberries, plums and prunes), a bit of tar, tannins still very much at work with good acidity. Some depth to the flavors across the palate, which are promising but need more time to come together. First time with this producer but seems to be a good value. (2626 views) | | | Tasted by jyensan on 11/12/2017 & rated 87 points: Not impressed. Im sure it just needs more time. Sour fruit and lack of depth or complexity. Just a flat wine at this time. Will revisit in 3-5 years. (1990 views) | | | Tasted by Tim Heaton on 4/4/2017: {Grandi Langhe, 2017} Wow, such an impressive wine. In the past, I've gravitated toward Le Coste as my favorite of their (two) Barolo wines, but it's becoming harder to choose a favorite, as the quality of their Barolo offerings just continues to get better, their touch is light, yet the result, substantive. An elegant wine that will need several years in the cellar before it's truly ready to face the world, and even then, it'll just be getting going. There are now 3 Barolo offerings: San Giuseppe, Le Coste and Bussia, and I'm an enthusiastic buyer of each one. highly recommended

| Pecchenino Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
