A wine that expresses all the bold character of a Sangiovese cultivated on drained soils. Its rich yet clear ruby-red colour, with garnet nuances, conveys its body immediately, which is reinforced by its complex bouquet. On the nose, the predominant scents of fruit, such as black currant and blueberry, and of spicy notes of black pepper give way to tertiary toasted notes of coffee bean and tobacco. On the palate, the wine’s richness and depth stand out, perfectly harmonised by the elegance characteristic of a Sangiovese grown at these altitudes. The soft, round tannins are perfectly integrated. The finish is long and persistent, with tertiary notes returning once again.

Review by Drew Innes:

A beautiful and modern Serralunga Barolo from Jerry Gain at Riverdale Wines in Toronto. Soft, ripe and velvety and a stunning vintage. Complex and intense on the nose with black cherry, mocha, licorice, spice box and charred coconut. A perfect restaurant Barolo that drinks immediately right out of the bottle. A pH of 3.4 and rs of about 3 make put it into the dry category. If you enjoy riper Nebbiolo, you have to get this.
