LUIGI BAUDANA BAROLO BAUDANA DOCG 2020

93 pts Vinous (Galloni)The 2020 Barolo Baudana opens with a burst of plump, juicy, red-toned fruit. Bright acids and persistent tannins are a reminder we’re in Serralunga. The 2020 is going to need a few years to come together, but it is a relatively accessible wine for this part of the appellation. The purity of the fruit here is lovely. Pretty floral and spice overtones lift the finish effortlessly. - By Antonio Galloni on November 2023 1.6ha of Baudana, SW-facing at 350m Vines planted in 1960, 59 years-old Fermentation in open-top wood vats with manual punchdowns Macerations with submerged cap lasted 45 days Aging was in neutral 1500L, 1700L, and 2500L Slavonian oak botti, for 30 months
