Firmly tannic, this red is rich and boasts bilberry, raspberry and menthol notes. Needs air and shows good length, if not much complexity. Best from 2013 through 2022. 458 cases made. -BS

Barolo Riserva San Pietro reflects the heat of the 2003 vintage with confidence and personality. There’s a good balance between fruit and spice here and mature cherry aromas help elevate the whole thing up a few notches in intensity. The wine is compact and clean with firm, drying tannins.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 90
