WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Serralunga Barolo is characterized by great structure and power. Dry and tannic, but with velvety texture and great balance. It has notes of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush. balance. The finish is very long-lasting.
Ideal with hearty red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
This red rides a fine balance between elegance and austerity, with cherry, strawberry, rose and hay aromas and flavors fused to a spine of stiff tannins; nevertheless, this is long and engaging. Best from 2026 through 2042. 7,400 cases made, 5,100 cases imported.
- Wine Spectator, 93 pts.
Brooding aromas of black cherry, pepper and coriander all swirl in the glass alongside subtle notes of dried rose and crushed stone. The palate is brighter with tart red fruits on the core with notes of black tea, anise and superfine tannins on the lifted finish.
- Wine Enthusiast, 91 pts.
Aromas of fresh flowers, cedar and sandalwood as well as sliced plums. Medium body, fine tannins and a clean and crisp finish.
