The 2020 Luigi Baudana Barolo Baudana is a compelling single-vineyard Barolo from the historic Baudana cru in Serralunga d'Alba, one of Piedmont's most distinctive Barolo-growing villages. Produced by Luigi Baudana under the stewardship of the Vajra family, this wine captures the vineyard's hallmark combination of structure, elegance and site expression. Aromas of red cherry, rose petals, blood orange and wild berries are layered with notes of spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is finely structured and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and polished tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. The texture is concentrated yet refined, leading to a long, dry finish with impressive depth, freshness and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barolo for those seeking a classic single-vineyard expression from Serralunga d'Alba. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle dishes, game meats and aged hard cheeses.
