Note di degustazione
The Luigi Baudana 2018 Barolo Baudana is a full and generous wine, somewhat surprisingly so considering the understated personality of this vintage. That volume makes this bottle stand out in a crowd of 2018 releases. Dark cherry, plum, spice, rust and crushed flowers make for a soft and readily accessible wine. This Barolo is oak fermented and aged in large Slavonian oak casks.

The 2018 Barolo Baudana offers lovely creaminess and depth in the mid-weight style of the year. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, plum, pomegranate and sweet floral notes all meld together in this racy, inviting Barolo. There's lovely depth and texture throughout. The Baudana is the most forward and immediate of the Baudana Barolos.
Serralunga d'Alba. The grapes were harvested on 20 October. The wine stayed on the skins for over 40 days. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks and barriques until May 2021. Bottled on 9 July 2021 . First day: Just mid ruby. Minerally nose with an undertow of sweet red fruit that becomes more powerful with aeration. Iron, orange skin and ripe raspberry. Youthful, seductive sweet red fruit. Lots of fine, bitter-sweet, chewy tannins that stick to the palate. Long and youthful. Second day: Beautifully open-knit, minerally red-fruit nose. Notes of strawberries and raspberries. Succulent fruit palate with long chewy tannins that seem a little more polished and fine than they did yesterday. Closes up on the finish. Elegant constitution. Promising. (WS)
