Tasting notes
The 2009 Barolo Serre is initially a bit higher-toned and aromatic than the Gagliardo. Mint, sweet herbs and freshly cut flowers lead to dark red and black fruit, all supported by firm, yet nicely integrated tannins. With time in the glass slightly oxidative tones develop, suggesting the 2009 won't be extremely long lived. It is pretty today, though, and should drink nicely for at least another handful of years.

The 2009 Barolo Serre is a darkly concentrated, -modern- rendition of Barolo that shows deep richness and plush texture in the mouth. The inside firmness of the wine and its elegant tannic structure do a great job of supporting black fruit, spice, leather and moist pipe tobacco. The wine shows a nice evolution in the glass and can be enjoyed in the near-term. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2022. Stefano Gagliardo likes to note that his father, who didn-t drink alcohol, learned to love wine thanks to his mother who came from a family with a long line of winemakers. What became a common love for wine soon blossomed into a winery with 20 hectares of vines spread over 16 sites including La Morra, Barolo, Monforte d-Alba and Serralunga d-Alba.
