Floral, showing lavender, violets and cherries with an herbal lift. Medium-bodied with tender, succulent red fruit and chalky, precise tannins that gain focus toward the finish. Open and drinkable now.

Ripe and assertive, it displays notes of black cherries, red plums, strawberries, and citron pieces. Medium body, agile and juicy on the palate, it finishes elegantly and well-composed. The finish is pleasantly savory.

The 2022 Barolo Ludo is a very pretty entry-level offering from Einaudi. Crushed flowers, sweet dried red cherry, mint, spice, cedar and tobacco are all nicely lifted. This delicate, silky Barolo is impeccably balanced. It is especially fine in the context of this very challenging vintage.

The 2022 Barolo Ludo is a blend of fruit from Cannubi, Terlo, Bussia, and Monvigliero and pours a medium ruby hue. Aromas of sun-dried cherries, strawberries, tea leaf, spice, and light earthy notes emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it carries appealing fruit and balance with refined tannins and refreshing acidity.
