Tasting notes
The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Verduno is fabulous. Rich, deep and beautifully layered, the 2019 immediately announces itself. Black cherry, plum, new leather, tobacco and incense build effortlessly. There's plenty of acid and tannin, but also enough fruit intensity to balance things out.

Very attractive nose with dried red berries, sandalwood, toasted spices, wet stones and undergrowth. It’s firm and tight but juicy and vivid with a full body and velvety tannins. Lingering finish. Try after 2026.
The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Verduno is a dark, brooding wine. Dark-toned fruit, spice, menthol and licorice lend tons of intensity to this decidedly potent Verduno Barolo. There's real density and mid-palate richness. This is far from an entry-level bottling, that is for sure. Patience is essential.
