Luigi Baudana, Barolo Baudana 2021
View analysis
Description
Baudana is a hidden gem among the historical vineyards of Serralunga. Once celebrated, then forgotten, today finally regains its past prestige. Located on the western slope of Serralunga, just north of Parafada and Lazzarito, features a Sant’Agata fossil marl with a peculiar bluish tone. This is a rather unique soil within the contest of Serralunga d’Alba.
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Barolo Baudana is another super-sensual wine from the estate. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red cherry/red plum fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and flowers. A wine with striking inner perfume, the 2021 is captivating from start to finish.
About the Producer
Luigi Baudana is one of the smallest active wineries in Serralunga d’Alba and the entire Barolo region. With only 2,6 hectares (6.4 acres) farmed in some of the prime crus of the village, this can rightly be considered a true garagiste producer. Luigi and his wife Fiorina carried on the family’s heritage in Serralunga d’Alba. In January 2009, Luigi and Fiorina entrusted the Vajra family with a unique mission: being the guardian of their family name, story and vineyards.Perpetuating Luigi’s legacy.
