Luigi Baudana - Barolo Serralunga d'Alba 2020 (750ml)

94 Points Wine Enthusiast

This Barolo exudes an alluring and enigmatic aroma highlighted by black cherry and warmed black currants accompanied by notes of black pepper, licorice root, anise, and fennel. The wine's nose is a captivating kaleidoscope, with fruit, herbs and earthy notes each taking their turn with every swirl of the glass. On the palate, it is mouth-filling and rich, yet structured, with notes of plum and black raspberry enveloped by firm tannins and a pronounced earthy quality that begs to be paired with roasted meats, mushrooms, or umami-focused dishes. This wine is a true embodiment of the powerful and age-worthy Barolo wines that have made Serralunga d'Alba famous. Drink Now - 2045 — Jeff Porter

The Luigi Baudana 2020 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba has a strong aromatic imprint with ferrous earth, iron ore, dried flower, orange peel, spice and dark fruit. There is good freshness too, despite the hot-vintage conditions. Fresh berry flavors give this wine an approachable character (and vibrant energy). That pretty freshness is what you will remember most.

93 Points Wine Spectator

Cherry, menthol, tar and iron flavors are infused in this silky, stylish red. Starts out on the graceful side, picking up dense, mouthcoating tannins midpalate and through the finish. Its length shows its pedigree, so be patient.
