The 2019 Barolo is a classy entry-level offering from Borgogno. Sweet dried cherry, orange peel, cinnamon, incense and star anise are beautifully delineated in the soaring, expressive bouquet. Finely cut and translucent, the straight Barolo is an absolute delight. Reads who can find it should not hesitate. 92 points

The Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno 2019 Barolo shows a luminous ruby appearance and lean fruit weight. The bouquet follows up with crushed rose, dried cherry, licorice root and nectarine. I love the delicate, silky nature of the mouthfeel. This elegant wine has an accessible side, but it delivers a good value versus quality proposition. Some 10,000 bottles were released. 94 points
