Fontanafredda Serralunga d’Alba Barolo 2021

Description

Fontanafredda’s flagship Barolo, with its iconic vertically striped label recalling the estate’s façade, is among the denomination’s best values in 2021. It achieves that alluring and complex mix of freshness and maturity. Savoury nuances of moss and mushroom lace through dried strawberry and spiced plum. Ripe tannins are still tight and properly assertive, confidently bracing the supple, vibrant fruit. It lingers with raspberry tea and tobacco. Essential for anyone building a cellar on a budget. Drinking window: 2025-2035. Score – 92. (Michaela Morris, decanter.com, March 28, 2025)
