2020 Barolo, del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont, Italy

Description

We tasted this from a new oak botti at our visit last year, and even then it was clear that this would be something special. This was confirmed at this year’s tasting: the aromatics have shed the creaminess of the oak and converted to the benchmark Serralunga notes of iodine. The palate has a cool veneer, it is tight and firm but with a small, coiled nugget of red fruit compressed into the centre. This is classic Serralunga, and very fine.

Critics reviews

Kerin O'Keefe 94/100
The 2020 Comune di Serralunga bottling opens with aromas of spice, camphor and blue flower. Savory and elegantly structured, the linear palate offers juicy sour cherry, blood orange, cranberry and star anise alongside taut, fine-grained tannins.Drink 2028 - 2033Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (February 2024)

Antonio Galloni 93/100
The 2020 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a blend of two sites in the village. Dark and evocative, the 2020 offers up a complex mélange of savory herbs, blood orange, balsamic-infused fruit, spice and new leather. This beguiling, nuanced Barolo hits all the right notes. The mix of finesse and power in reserve is alluring, to say the least.Drink 2025 - 2035antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.
