Tasting notes
Medium ruby. Manzone's Barolo Serralunga is marred by a less than perfectly clean nose, although it offers attractive notes of sweet dark fruit, licorice, mineral, and tar with good depth and length in potent, somewhat austere style. It should drink well to age 15.

The 1999 Barolo Serralunga, a very full garnet, is already showing a lovely nose of ripe plums and black cherries, tar, and chocolate. Round and sweet in flavor, with plenty of substance to support the fruit, the minerals, and the rose petals, the elegance and silk of the texture are by no means at the expense of continuity and length. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
