Fontanafredda Serralunga d’Alba Riserva Barolo 2018

Lifting from the glass like pulling a truffle from the ground, this Barolo opens with delicate aromas of turned earth, white truffle, dried cranberry and rose petals. Opulent on the palate, yet with an elegant edge that tips the hat to the purity and beauty of Nebbiolo. Waves of flavors roll across the palate with cherry jam, star anise and savory herbs notes all being picked up on the finish by fine tannins and mouthwatering acidity. Drink date: now-2040. Cellar Selection. Score – 92. (Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2025)
