The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2020 Barolo Ludo shows classic Nebbiolo aromas of roses and tar that are fleshed out in this case by redcurrant and cranberry. The fruit is bright and lively, not overripe, as we see in many other wines from this vintage, with a touch of something spicy like saffron or aniseed. It shows nice overall balance with good acidity.

Elegant and detailed, offering floral, cherry, menthol and tar aromas and flavors. Bright and balanced, this red ends with chalky tannins that leave a light grip. Shows fine length and should be approachable soon. Best from 2026 through 2040.

The wine is a harmonious blend, featuring spiced cherry jam and tart cranberry notes atop an earthy forest floor base. It boasts a great structure, with mouthwatering acidity that is both fine and subtly surprising. Elegant tannins round out the frame of this well-composed wine.

Pouring a rich ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Ludo is very attractive on the nose, with aromas of red cherries, spiced orange, anise, and crushed earth. Medium-bodied, it's bright and even on the palate, with fine tannins, clean lift, and a weightless feel. It's a very charming entry to the Barolos from Einaudi. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

The 2020 Barolo Ludo is a tasty entry-level offering from Einaudi. Crushed flowers, tobacco, mint, cedar and dried herbs give the 2020 lovely aromatic presence. This inviting, mid-weight Barolo is all class.
