The 2016 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba shows the added weight and tannic heft of Serralunga (vis-à-vis the straight Barolo), but it too is done in a mid-weight style that requires minimal cellaring. Iron, smoke, sage, mint and a host of feral nuances are laced into a core of dark fruit. There is plenty of character here, that much is evident. The Comune is a blend of six parcels in town. - Antonio Galloni

Serralunga d’Alba. Grapes come from the Costabella, Meriame, Sorano, Cerretta (east facing), Broglio, Serra (lower site) and Damiano vineyards.
Pretty nose of ripe fruit with a fine spicy note. Dried cherry and raspberry fruit and energetic acidity. Attractive tannic bite on the finish. Great length. (WS)
