2020 Barolo, Commune di Serralunga d'Alba, Luigi Baudana, Piedmont, Italy

Description

The already miniscule quantity (normally 300 bottles) is down by 30% this year, so even more of a rarity than usual. The blend is from the Costabella, Baudana and Cerretta vineyards, harvested on 9th October and kept on skins for 65 days, then in tini for two years. The bouquet is intense with dried fruit, spice and candy, with a top note of sweetness for the vintage but the attack and structure on the palate is strong and very Serralunga.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17.5/20

Blend of three Serralunga vineyards: Costabella, Baudana and Ceretta.

Really convincing nose. Racy and polished tannins. Really lively. Long and dry but not drying. So clean. Lovely pure fruit.

Drink 2025 - 2035

Audrey Frick 93/100

A youthful ruby red colour, the 2020 Barolo offers more nervous energy on the nose, opening with notes of smoky incense, red cherries, cranberry, and orange peel. It packs in a good deal of tension on the palate, with iron-rich mineral notes, a slightly gamey, earthy feel, and a youthful, gripping nature. It’s going to benefit from another year and will drink well 2026 - 2046.

James Suckling 93/100

This is a sleek and savory Barolo that shows notes of blood orange, wild raspberries, white tea and peaches, with a touch of brined olive. It’s medium- to full-bodied, fine-tannined and elegant.

Best after 2026

Monica Larner 93/100

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.

Drink 2026 - 2038
