2019 Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno Barolo Cannubi

From: Cannubi, Barolo, ItalyVarietal: NebbioloTaste: The wine is a luminous garnet core with brick-orange reflections at the rim. The nose is elegant yet intense, unfolding in layers of dried rose petals, sour cherry, blood orange, and black tea, followed by undertones of anise seed, tobacco leaf, and crushed sandstone. On the palate, it is structured yet finely textured, driven by a high-acid backbone and firm, vertical tannins. The mid-palate reveals savory depth and precision, with notes of pomegranate, dried raspberry, and wild herbs, followed by subtle hints of leather, cedar, and a saline mineral finish.

Critical Acclaim: “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'
