2020 Barolo, Baudana, Luigi Baudana, Piedmont, Italy

Description

It is a little confusing that Luigi Baudana came from the village of Baudana and owned vines in a vineyard called Baudana.  That must mean the wines have a sense of place.  But these wines have also long been a stand-bearer for the village and Serralunga.  The vineyard is on the cusp between the Tortonian and Helvetian soil types and combine a ferrous bite with a broader and richer texture.  There is some Serralunga muscularity, but this is very fine indeed.

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.Drink after 2026james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (February 2024)

The 2020 Barolo Baudana opens with a burst of plump, juicy, red-toned fruit. Bright acids and persistent tannins are a reminder we’re in Serralunga. The 2020 is going to need a few years to come together, but it is a relatively accessible wine for this part of the appellation. The purity of the fruit here is lovely. Pretty floral and spice overtones lift the finish effortlessly.Drink 2026 - 2038antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)

Monica Larner 94/100
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 hints of spicy licorice. All of that intensity, with soil, fruit and spice, swells over the palate, giving this wine an impactful character. It is almost ready to drink straight out of the gate.Drink 2025 - 2038monica_larner, Wine Advocate (April 2024)

Aromas of menthol, black spice, leather, rose hip and citrus lead the nose on the stunning 2020 Baudana from Luigi Baudana. It’s smooth and delicious, delivering wild raspberry, strawberry compote, blood orange, tobacco and star anise alongside a backbone of polished tannins. Crushed mint lingers on the close while fresh acidity keeps it beautifully balanced.Drink 2027 - 2035Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (February 2024)
