Bruno Besa: Garnet, ruby to pink. Clean, youthful, and transparent nose; red cherries, cassis, red currants, fresh herbs, crushed stones, minerals, mint, and raspberries. Medium to full body, balanced, elegant, super-clean, long finish. Another outstanding Barolo from Serralunga. 94

Andrew Jefford: Clear, deep black-red. Fresh, sweet, almost succulently so, yet there is an aromatic complexity that detains and diverts—a nuance, a freshness, an intrigue—very fine aromas here. Another totally arresting Serralunga wine. This time it is even more energetic, almost demonic: a great bracegirdle of acidity grabs the palate, the tannins come sweeping in afterwards, and you are left searching among the debris for the aromatic resource and the fruit flesh. But it is there... super stuff, and in fine sites like this, ’17 is certainly a great vintage. This, like [Ca’Rome Romano Marengo Barolo Rapet] has an absolutely splendid aromatic resource that lifts it above its peers. 95

Michael Palij: This wine shows a dusty, fruity, yet complex nose of red cherry, plum, damson, and black-fruit character, with lingering tannins and decidedly frank acidity allied to the fruit. On the palate, it is long and savory, with fine tannins and lemony acidity. 94
