"Very pretty ripe cherries and strawberries with light toffee undertones. It’s full-bodied, but tight and focused. Chewy tannins. Needs time to soften. Better after 2022"

"Aromas of black skinned berry and baking spice follow through to the focused, savory palate along with licorice and orange zest. It’s linear and structured, with taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2024–2031."

"Fontanafredda has extensive holdings in Serralunga, so perhaps it's not surprising that even the communal blend from here is of high quality. The wine is now aged in barriques as well as large casks. There's a smoky, cooked raspberry tone on the nose, but it's not jammy. Rich and sleek, this is very polished for Serralunga, with a silky texture, a complex and lively presence on the palate, and a fine balance between acidity and ripe tannins. Long. Drinking Window 2020 - 2038."
