Notes of red plums and raspberries with cloves, licorice and red flowers. Some orange peel, too. Medium- to full-bodied with firm but ripe and well-integrated tannins with chalky texture to it. Even and long with a velvety finish. Drink from 2026.

The Cascina Adelaide 2019 Barolo Baudana (with 5,000 bottles made) draws its fruit from a well-exposed site in Serralunga d'Alba where the soils are richer and heavier. This expression is sturdy and concentrated with aromas of rusty nail, dark fruit and grilled rosemary. The 2019 vintage tends to show more fruit weight overall, and that's definitely the impression you get here.

A pure expression of cherry backed by supple texture and firm tannins, this red also delivers rose, spice and woodsy accents. Harmonious, with the structure emerging on the long finish. Shows excellent potential. Best from 2026 through 2043. 670 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2018 Barolo Baudana is a very different wine when compared to the other single-vineyard expressions from this estate. This has to do with site and soil, and in the case of this celebrated subzone, the wines are always more powerful, more structured and mineral-driven. Dark fruit is followed by rusty notes of iron ore and crushed clay. This wine offers good substance both in terms of finish and texture. Cascina Adelaide does a great job with the Baudana. 5,000 bottles were made.

A broad version, whose open texture is woven with macerated plum, eucalyptus, spice and tar flavors. Turns sinewy midpalate, once the tannic structure gets involved. Fine overall balance and length. Best from 2025 through 2043. 670 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
