"The rose petal and ripe strawberry and orange blossom aromas come through nicely. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. It has finesse and focus. Very attractive now but better in two or three years." James Suckling 93 points Drink 2024-38

Notes of lavender, black raspberry, and licorice candy emerge from the medium-bodied 2019 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'Alba, followed by ripe dark berries that fill the palate with sweet tannins and a weightless feel. Its more dark-fruited profile is expressive of Serralunga d'Alba, while also feeling supple and approachable for its youth. Drink 2024-2030.
Vinous

The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga &Alba is laced with hints of tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, menthol, sage and mint, all of which infuse the 2019 with tons of character. The Serralunga is a gorgeous Barolo, a wine full of intrigue that will enjoy a fine evolution in bottle for at least a decade or so. It is a very good first effort. My impression is that this will only get better in future vintages. Vineyard sources are: Lirano and Manocino.
Wine Advocate

Here's a new wine to join the Mauro Veglio portfolio. The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a bit closed on first nose and not fully expressive at this young stage. Dried cherry skin and lavender transition to rosemary essence and cedarwood. The aromas are a little muddled but this hearty, medium-weight wine should hopefully unwind with more cellar age. Only 6,500 bottles were made.
