Boasso Barolo Serralunga 2018

Boasso’s “entry level” Barolo, sourced from vineyards in the commune Serralunga d’Alba. Starting with scorched earth, smoked meat, then dried cranberry, cherry liquor and notes of ironstone and aniseed. Ripe, juicy fruits at the core with power and density. Unashamedly rich in a vintage of rather delicate Barolos! Savoury black tea tannins sculpture the palate but somewhat dominate over the flavours. It ticks a lot of boxes and delivers value with a rustic charm.
