Luigi Baudana Barolo Serralunga 2022

Youthful, fruity nose with a surprising intensity for a 2005 vintage, featuring tones of cherry, rosemary, and dry grass, harmonious by a freshness echoing of Nebbiolo's typical character, accompanied by soft tobacco, moss, and truffle undertones. The palate reveals a dry, medium- to plus-acidity, with tannins that are still somewhat youngish, but evident in the broadly structure. The aging process is evident, with earthy, mineral, and mushroom whispers emerging, especially on the finish. This wine is a powerful and elegant expression of its age, with a mind-blowing deal of potential for the future. It is a remarkable example of how a wine can develop and mature over time.

Pleasing combination of red fruits and a wisp of spice, making for a very good altogether experience.

Rich, full-bodied Barolo with a deep, gentle structure and a complex, layered profile, featuring undertones of oak, vanilla, cherry, blackberry, leather, tobacco, and pepper, smooth by a smooth, spicy finish.
