Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga D'Alba 2014
Serralunga, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyI have always been a fan of this very affordable Barolo that comes with just the right amount of pedigree and styling. 2014 was hardly a world-beater vintage. It was a difficult year in the vineyards with both hail and plenty of rain, if localized, to challenge growers. In the end, the results are pretty decent, as seen in this offering from Serralunga D'Alba. The attack is juicy with light cherry undertones and classic dry forest floor with a touch of bitterness in the back end. It was the perfect bookend to a sausage pizza, but it has even more to offer beef. You can drink it now with a rustic dish, but I would be inclined to wait until 2022 to give this a chance to unfold in the bottle and your glass. I love the 13.5 percent alcohol level that leaves it lively on the palate.Tasted: 28 October 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $44.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
