2021 Giovanni Rosso Barolo Serralunga d'alba del Comune

94 POINTS

Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast

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

Falstaff

Clear garnet with hints of brick red. Warm and soft on the nose, reminiscent of ripe berries and Mediterranean scrub. Discreetly fruity on the palate, with fine tannins and invigorating acidity, harmonious through to the lingering, long finish.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

The 2021 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a blend of eight sites across the village. Kirsch, blood orange, white pepper, chalk, mint and cinnamon all meld together as the 2021 opens in the glass. The gentler side of Serralunga is very much in evidence, although there is a good kick of tannin on the close.
