Like Massimo’s extroverted Langhe Nebbiolo, Guido Porro’s 2019 Vigna Santa Caterina is already a remarkably inviting expression of Barolo, with its high-toned, elegant profile and silky tannins. You don’t need to wait to pop the cork on this and—as seamlessly as it will pair with all kinds of dishes, from a seared pork chop to cacio e pepe—you don’t even need food. It is that graceful!
uido Porro's Santa Caterina is a perfect example of the finesse, complexity, and longevity this cru can achieve, specifically when crafted via traditional production methods such as spontaneous fermentation, long macerations, and extensive aging in enormous Slavonian oak casks. These techniques produce a Barolo with delicate and nuanced aromas backed by a deep, chewy structure that promises a slow and steady evolution throughout the years—twenty years or more, if you so wish.
