WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Colour: ruby red colour in its youth; it assumes garnet red nuances that became orange soft reflexes by aging
Nose: soft and elegant scentswith notes of red berriesfruits that evolve into spicy notes with aging.
Taste: round, elegant structure with soft tannins, red fruits with long and warm finish.
TASTING NOTES:
The Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno 2019 Barolo shows a luminous ruby appearance and lean fruit weight. The bouquet follows up with crushed rose, dried cherry, licorice root and nectarine. I love the delicate, silky nature of the mouthfeel. This elegant wine has an accessible side, but it delivers a good value versus quality proposition.
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 pts.
The 2019 Barolo is a classy entry-level offering from Borgogno. Sweet dried cherry, orange peel, cinnamon, incense and star anise are beautifully delineated in the soaring, expressive bouquet. Finely cut and translucent, the straight Barolo is an absolute delight. Reads who can find it should not hesitate.
