Tasting notes
The Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno 2019 Barolo shows a luminous ruby appearance and lean fruit weight. The bouquet follows up with crushed rose, dried cherry, licorice root and nectarine. I love the delicate, silky nature of the mouthfeel. This elegant wine has an accessible side, but it delivers a good value versus quality proposition. Some 10,000 bottles were released.

Barolo. Just mid ruby. Earthy, spicy, minerally nose that is still a little subdued on the fruit. Transparent raspberry fruit on the palate that might seem a little light at first. Great elegance and style, and yet this has nothing polished about it. (WS)
The 2019 Barolo is a classy entry-level offering from Borgogno. Sweet dried cherry, orange peel, cinnamon, incense and star anise are beautifully delineated in the soaring, expressive bouquet. Finely cut and translucent, the straight Barolo is an absolute delight. Reads who can find it should not hesitate.
