The 2022 Luigi Baudana Barolo Serralunga is a distinguished Italian red wine from Serralunga d'Alba in Piedmont's celebrated Barolo region, produced by Luigi Baudana, an estate managed by the Vajra family. Crafted entirely from Nebbiolo, this wine reflects Serralunga's limestone-rich soils and distinctive terroir, renowned for producing structured, age-worthy Barolo. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by notes of dried rose petals, liquorice, tobacco and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium to full-bodied with firm, finely textured tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of ripe cherry, red plum and cranberry unfold alongside hints of dried herbs, anise, cedar and mineral complexity. Its expressive red-fruit character is supported by savoury depth and elegant structure, creating a classic Barolo with concentration and finesse. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of red berries, dried flowers and refined tannins.
