    Barolo Sperss 2020 shows the power, determination and strength you would expect from Serralunga d'Alba. Dark cherry fruit with cassis and wild plum, rounded off by floral aromas that lean more towards red rose than violet or blue flowers. It is a great wine on the palate, with lots of compact, dense tannins, coated in sweet enamel, multi-layered and dense, with a long build-up. Plums and liquorice on the finish with a delicate, mineral iron vein, as we know it from the Sperss. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Bright, rich ruby colour with a fine garnet sheen. Finely characterised nose with a fresh fruit component, of cranberries and crisp cherries, some cardamom. Plucky, full-bodied tannins characterise the palate, dark fruit component, full-bodied and salty final." Falstaff

    "The Sperss comes from the Marenca and Rivette MGAs, both in the heart of Serralunga. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and ageing takes place in barriques and large oak barrels. The 2020 presents floral and restrained aromas of wild strawberries with mineral notes of tobacco and graphite. The tannins are dense, taut but ripe, infused with orange peel on the refreshing finish." Decanter

    "The reduced aromas are earthy, with hints of cherry and raspberry. The flavours are fresh and lively, with fine precision and a tightly wound structure that emphasises the notes of cherry, raspberry, iron, tobacco and undergrowth. The excellent length of the mineral finish hints at the future potential of this wine." Wine Spectator

    "Very spicy with deep, dark earth and forest flavours of black truffles, bark, mushrooms, liquorice and iodine. Full-bodied and very restrained, with a linear and racy palate that lingers for minutes. Gunpowder emphasises the character of the dark fruits and the forest floor. Structured. Try it after 2028." James Suckling
