The 2020 Luigi Baudana Barolo Serralunga is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Serralunga d'Alba commune in Piedmont. Produced by Luigi Baudana and crafted under the Vajra family's stewardship, this wine reflects the structure and longevity for which Serralunga is famous. Aromas of red cherry, rose petals, wild berries and orange peel are complemented by notes of spice, dried herbs and subtle earthiness.
On the palate, it is beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity and firm, finely woven tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. The texture is powerful yet refined, leading to a long, dry finish with impressive depth, balance and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Barolo enthusiasts seeking a traditional Serralunga expression with both elegance and ageing potential. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto and aged hard cheeses.
