The Guido Porro 2018 Barolo V. S. Caterina shows tannins that are soft and fine, giving this wine an accessible approach. The wine's complexity creeps up on you with dried fruit, wild cherry, earth and grilled herb delivered over a lean-bodied style. Those tannins give the wine a little more bite and grip.
Serralunga d'Alba. Grapes come from the Vigna S Caterina in Vignarionda. Palish ruby with orange tinges. Stony and minerally rather than fruity right now and with a hint of liquorice. Perfumed cherry fruit on the palate with restrained sandy tannins underneath. Polished long and elegant and with lots of sweet raspberry fruit on the finish. (WS)
