CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2020 Barolo Francia is fascinating to taste next to the 2021. A substantial young Barolo, the 2020 offers notable mid-palate density and tons of pure explosive energy. Savory and mineral notes abound, but at this stage, the 2020 is a Barolo of fruit and texture. Practically seamless tannins pull it all together. I have a slight preference for the 2021, but it is neck and neck between these two great Barolos. A second bottle enjoyed in a local restaurant a few days after this tasting was every bit as memorable.

Serralunga d Alba. A year set on elegance, not power or concentration.Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Very fine but subdued nose - real subtlety and complexity but very slow to show. The palate is perfectly balanced, if very closed and embryonic. Fine tannins adding a little chew on the fluid finish. (WS)
