Tasting notes
The cuvée is the name of the previous winery owner and the name of the vineyard. Taken over by the Vajras in late 1990s when Fiorina and Luigi Baudana made the decision to sell, although they still play a part in running the winery. Still very deep garnet. Glorious nose and really mature intrigue with spice and complexity. Lots of tannin underneath but you could drink this with food already. (JR)

The 2010 Barolo Baudana bursts from the glass with tons of energy and intensity. Black cherries, smoke, wild herbs, licorice and tar form a compelling backdrop of aromas, flavors and textures as this dazzling, explosive Barolo opens up in the glass. The huge, searing tannins are going to require time to settle, so readers need to be patient. This is a classic Serralunga Barolo built on power and structure. Hints of rose petal lavender and crushed rocks add nuance on the finish.
Serralunga d’Alba. A shade deeper than the Ceretta. Spicy, concentrated and with good depth. Ripe Nebbiolo fruit matched by the famous muscle of the Serralunga tannins. (WS)
An explosive, energetic wine, the 2010 Barolo Baudana emerges from the glass with bright red fruit, savory herbs, blood orange and crushed flowers. Here the style is structured but also energetic, with incisive, razor-sharp tannins that give the wine its energy. There is a lot to look forward to in this chiseled, sculpted Barolo.
