Tasting Notes

A young Barolo with floral, cherry and citrus aromas that follow through to a full body, firm tannins and a tangy, lively finish. This is an energetic young Barolo that needs time to soften in the bottle. Drink in 2016.

Licorice and sweet spice notes grace the cherry and tar flavors in this intense and compact red. All the components are well-proportioned, but this needs time to come together. Offers a classic Serralunga profile. Best from 2019 through 2035.

Pale ruby with orange tinges. Austere but pretty nose and really stony with hints of shoe polish. Tightly knit sweet fruit palate with bitter-sweet firm tannins. Long and satisfying, but not ready yet.
