One of the very best Barolo wines from 2009 that doesn’t hold a cru designation, this shows a striking, pleasantly earthy, savory bouquet with a leathery note that seems to mark only the young wines of Serralunga in this vintage. Highly complex with low but notable wood influence, this is a marvelous wine in the traditional mold.
