Ferdinando Principiano Barolo Serralunga 2019

“The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba is redolent of tar, incense, goudron, menthol, licorice and macerated black cherry. This potent, strapping Barolo packs a serious punch, that much is obvious. Sage, cloves, leather and a whole range of balsamic notes infuse the finish with tons of depth as well as character. Drinking window: 2024-2034. 93 points

I am deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Ferdinando Principiano this year. The 2019s and 2018s are deep, beautifully focused Barolos that are richly evocative of site, which is essentially what Barolo should be about.”
