94 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "A bright medium ruby hue, the 2022 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D’Alba delivers appealing intensity while remaining pure and lifted. Aromas of ripe cherry, pie spice, crushed flowers, and subtle licorice emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with silky tannins, refreshing acidity, and a lingering finish with a gentle citrus oil nuance. Drink 2027-2040." 04/26

94 Points, Jeff Porter, WineEnthusiast.com: "This wine lifts with a grace and purity that sets the tone immediately, mixed red fruits spanning fresh to dried with a quality and clarity that needs no explanation. The palate follows with tart red fruits swimming alongside sweet spices and plump cooked red plums, a touch of fine herbs threading through and keeping everything focused. Serralunga elegance wearing its very best. Drink Now - 2045" 09/26

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "Aromas of forest floor, citrus, iris and cedar form the nose on the Luigi Baudana 2022 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba. Firmly structured, the rather austere palate offers tart cherry, bitter orange, ground clove and tobacco alongside close-grained tannins that leave a grippy finish." 09/25

92 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Luigi Baudana 2022 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba opens with a pop of cherry alongside subtle tones of blood orange, ferrous earth and a spicy hint of ginger, while a warm-vintage note of dried plum also emerges. The Baudana estate, now farmed by the Vajra family, is rooted in Serralunga d’Alba, where compact soils and a cooler hilltop position often lend Barolo both structure and aromatic precision. This is a classic expression of Serralunga d’Alba with enough power to pair with important dishes, yet the warmth of the vintage brings tamer, sweeter tannins and a more accessible profile." 07/26
