Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2019 Luigi Baudana “Serralunga d’Alba” shows bright red and dark fruits, roses, tar and dried earth. Tannins are high and acid is at least medium+ but one can tell that the typical elegance of Baudana is present. A baby and while it’s very good right now, patience will be rewarded. Should drink well past 2040.
