Luigi Pira 2021 Barolo Commune di Serralunga 750ml

The 2021 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a surprisingly understated wine. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, sage, menthol and licorice lend notable aromatic breadth before a kick of Serralunga tannin appears on the mid-palate and finish. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo packs plenty of punch. Give it a year or two to settle down.
