James Suckling (94)

Spiced orange peel, fresh peaches, red cherries and earl grey tea undertones. Hints of lilac and crushed stones, too. Medium-bodied, juicy and dynamic with chalky, slightly chewy tannins and a polished finish.

Serralunga d'Alba. The grapes were harvested on 20 October and the wine stayed on the skins for more than 40 days with submerged cap. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks of 25 hl until May 2021. Bottled on 9 July 2021.
First day: Just mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Still quite tight and a little closed on the nose with an undertow of soft, perfumed red fruit. Youthful, elegant and juicy red fruit with a firm layer of chewy, lip-smacking tannins that add fireworks to the long finish. Super-elegant and at the same time very structured.
Second day: Spice and concentrated sweetly perfumed red fruit on the nose. Impressive depth while at the same time contained. The fruit has closed up on the palate, but the fine polished tannins are as impressive as yesterday. Long, fresh, supple and rather gorgeous. (WS)
