Barolo “Baudana” DOCG 2020 (BIO)

G.D. Vajra | Cantina Baudana | Piedmont
Az. Agr. G.D. Vajra | Via delle Viole, 25 | 12060 Barolo

Black cherry fruit, smoke, wild herbs, liquorice and tar form a compelling backdrop of aromas, flavours and textures as this dazzling, powerful Barolo opens up in the glass. The intense final is accompanied by delicate rose petals, lavender and a fine mineral-salty vein. Its stable tannin structure awaits a few more years of ageing in the bottle, as is typically the case with a classic Serralunga Barolo. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beguiling nose with floral-spicy notes, smoky-mineral, tobacco, ripe redcurrant. Initially soft and red berry on the palate, then becomes more tightly meshed with a salty-mineral line, iron, highly elegant, taut and tense with a laser-like structure, finishes with the finest tobacco and sweet spices full of finesse." Weinwisser

"Polished and fresh thanks to the limestone. Very lively and exciting. Fresh!" Jancis Robinson

"Attractive notes of cherries, peaches, red plums and violets on the nose. Juicy and bright, with a medium body and delicious red berry fruit, accompanied by fine-grained tannins." James Suckling

"The Barolo Baudana 2020 opens with a burst of plump, juicy red fruit. Bright acids and lingering tannins remind us that we are in Serralunga. The 2020 will need a few more years to develop, but it is a relatively approachable wine for this part of the appellation. The purity of the fruit here is wonderful. Pretty floral and spicy nuances lift the finish effortlessly." Vinous

"With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Luigi Baudana 2020 Barolo Baudana is a bold and ripe expression with dark currant, black cherry, sweet orange peel and crushed red rose. Soft, earthy layers appear on the mid palate with a hint of spicy liquorice. All this intensity of earth, fruit and spice swells on the palate, giving this wine an impressive character. It is ready to drink almost immediately." Wine Advocate

"Subtle notes of cherries in their prime, thyme, star anise, incense and warmed earth emerge with time, resulting in a wine worth the wait. The palate is initially plush, but the tannins soon make themselves known, shaping the wine into a polished and chiselled example of classic Nebbiolo. The savoury elements work in perfect harmony with the deep core of fruit and mouth-watering acidity, creating a Barolo that can be enjoyed now or cellared for decades." Wine Enthusiast

"Packed with fruit, this red exudes cherry, strawberry, rose and iron notes, with a hint of wild herbs. Vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins lend well-meshed support. Harmonious and surprisingly approachable already, but this will improve over the next two decades." Wine Spectator
