Sweet dark cherries and fresh garden mint intertwine with cinnamon sticks and star anise, while threads of tar and earth provide the deep bass notes that make Serralunga famous. The palate reveals why this village earned its powerhouse reputation: waves of pure fruit roll across crushed chalk minerality, building to a finale of spent tea leaves and bitter chocolate. A wine that flexes its muscles while wearing its finest silk suit, showing why Serralunga remains Barolo's center of gravitational force. Drink Now - 2045 (JP)

A solid red, with density to its texture, offering flavors that evoke cherry, currant, rose hip and almond. Flashes of eucalyptus, iron and tobacco peek through as this winds down on the long, vibrant aftertaste. Best from 2029 through 2048. (BS)

The dark red 2021 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga shows off a noble depth and Serralunga intensity, with ripe aromatics of kirsch, licorice candies, sappy crushed sage, and turned earth. The palate is ripe, with pure concentration, and retains lovely clarity within its more full-bodied frame without feeling weighty. It’s rounded and full, with ripe tannins, an even spine of acidity, and good length through the finish. It’s very nicely balanced, and while it’s very enjoyable to taste now, I anticipate this having a slow maturity if stored properly. It should drink well over the coming 12-15 years. (AF)

Subtle on the nose, with stones, cherries, minerals, licorice and sweet violets. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows firm tannins and refreshing acidity. Not as long as expected. Drink or hold. (AF)

Notes

Eight Serralunga sites contribute to Giovanni Rosso's 2021 communal Barolo, according to Antonio Galloni. The estate describes vineyards at 300–350 meters with southeast and southwest exposures. Its general approach to this bottling uses concrete fermentation followed by large oak casks from the Fontainebleau forest. Galloni finds a relatively gentle expression of Serralunga in the 2021, with blood orange, mint and spice followed by a firm tannic close. The review published by JebDunnuck.com emphasizes concentration without excessive weight, with ripe tannins and an even line of acidity within a fuller frame.
