The 2016 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'Alba is spiced and lifted with cinnamon, wild raspberry, and anise. There is ample fruit on the palate, with kirsch, clove, and balsamic. The 2016 has a bit more vibrancy and cut, which will continue to develop over the next 15 years. Drink 2022-2036.

The 2016 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba shows the added weight and tannic heft of Serralunga (vis-à-vis the straight Barolo), but it too is done in a mid-weight style that requires minimal cellaring. Iron, smoke, sage, mint and a host of feral nuances are laced into a core of dark fruit. There is plenty of character here, that much is evident. The Comune is a blend of six parcels in town.
