Bodacious Baudana Barolos from 2020

Bodacious Baudana Barolos

from 2020

From only 2.6ha of prime Piedmont terroir come three bold and beautiful Barolos: Serralunga, Baudana and Ceretta. Luigi Baudana is a garagiste producer based in the Italian village of Baudana in the Barolo sub-region of Serralunga d'Alba, which is famed for Nebbiolos of power, intensity and grace. These three wines reflect their sought-after terroir, offering black and red cherries, brambles, black pepper, black olives, dried roses, violets, sage, cedar, earthy notes – and fine, everlasting tannins.

The 2020 Baudana Barolo Serralunga is their ‘classico’ Barolo. The grapes come from younger vines in their two famous single cru vineyards, Baudana and Ceretta, along with a small parcel from Costabella. Alluring, enigmatic, sleek and savoury, ‘that pretty freshness is what you will remember most’, says the Wine Advocate.

Bodacious Baudana Barolos from 2020

From vines planted in the 1930s to 1960s at 350m altitude, the brilliant 2020 Baudana Barolo Baudana is deep ruby-hued, with a mouthwatering acidity and tannins that shape the wine into ‘a honed and chiseled example of classic Nebbiolo’ (Wine Enthusiast). The critics agree that this can be enjoyed now or cellared for decades.

The 2020 Baudana Barolo Cerretta, from the coolest microclimate in the cru, is ‘irresistible’ (Decanter), impressing with ‘its balance and overall harmony’ (Vinous). Expect florals, bold fruit, and chalky tannins that ‘give the wine an unmistakable gravitas, letting you know it's the boss’ (Wine Enthusiast).
