This such a fun wine. Long supple. Very together. Great purity and enchanting secondary characters from a well-executed élévage. Such a supple, generous wine. Savoury and earthy with a delightful perfume the wafts above. An absolutely cracking Serralunga. Picked at just the right time. This is such good drinking now.

Ferdinando Principiano is part of the next generation in Barolo who are guaranteeing that our kids and grandkids are ensured a supply of brilliant wines In around 2008 Ferdinando completely changed course from making full-on modern style wine to full-on traditional wines, which is a courageous move under any circumstance, and one which is yielding beautiful wines. And beautiful vines: his vineyards are also gorgeous.
The Barolo is a blend of fruit from Boscaretto, Baudana, and Leirano – all Serralunga vineyards.
A ripe and very aromatic Barolo with dried strawberries and flowers. Dried roses, too. Full body, super velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Dense and impressive. Hard not to drink now but try in 2020. Tasted April 2018
