Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta 2021

Luigi Baudana is one of the smallest active wineries in Serralunga d’Alba and the entire Barolo region, with only 2.6 hectares (6.4 acres) farmed in some of the prime crus of the village. In the history of Barolo, before the prevalence of single-cru bottlings, it was more common to blend fruit from sites of differing exposure, altitude, and soil type in order to obtain a more expressive and balanced wine.  Baudana's Barolo Serralunga combines fruit from the younger vines (planted 1990) of the Cerretta and Baudana crus, and, more recently, adds fruit from a small parcel in the cru of Costabella, just next to Baudana.
