The 2018 Barolo Baudana from Luigi Baudana, hailing from the esteemed Serralunga d’Alba sub-region, is expected to offer a powerful yet elegant expression of Nebbiolo. On the nose, anticipate classic Barolo aromas of dried roses, tar, licorice, and red cherry, interwoven with earthy undertones, hints of leather, and spice from oak aging. The palate will be full-bodied, with firm, well-structured tannins and bright acidity that promise longevity. Flavors will mirror the nose, focusing on tart red fruits like sour cherry and raspberry, complemented by savory notes of truffle, tobacco, and mineral complexity. The finish should be long, persistent, and intensely aromatic.
