The 2009 Barolo Vigna S. Caterina is laced with sweet tobacco, worn-in leather, spices and mint. Here, too, the flavors are a touch forward, even within the context of the vintage, while the alcohol is evident.

The 2010 Barolo Vigna S. Caterina emerges from the parcel in Lazzarito where the winery is located. Here the slightly higher elevation and southwest exposure result in a Barolo that is more aromatically lifted and red-toned vis-à-vis the Lazzairasco. Mint, pine, sweet red cherries and orange peel lifted from the glass, supported by firm yet nicely balanced tannins that give the wine its shape. This, too, is a fairly open 2010 that should drink well with only minimal cellaring, within the context of the year. As always, this is the most feminine of the Porro Barolos.

Drink it over the next few years.

The 2014 Barolo Vigna Lazzairasco is a very pretty wine. Sweet floral notes, tobacco, cedar and red fruit, along with the wine's mid-weight silky structure, yield a Barolo of superb elegance and translucent beauty. All of the elements fall into place in a gracious, delicate Barolo that hits all the right notes.

The 2018 Barolo Vigna Lazzairasco is a beguiling, nuanced wine. Sage, mint, dried tobacco leaves and cedar give the Lazzairasco its nuanced, complex aromatics. Medium in body, with gorgeous inner perfume and fine balance, the 2018 shows quite well today. Relatively soft tannins (for Serralunga) and mid-weight structure argue for near and medium term drinking,

The 2018 Barolo Vigna Rionda is a very good wine for the year. Classic Rionda aromatics give this mid-weight, pliant Barolo tons of seductiveness. Silky tannins add quite a bit of charm. This is a fine showing in a very difficult year from a vineyard that is still very young following a replanting just a few years ago. Well done.

Soft red fruits come on in an almost pinoté fashion but are quickly joined by classic Nebbiolo aromatics of dusty earth, wild flowers and hints of subtle herbs and spice. Benefitting from fruit usually allocated to Guido Rivella's Montestefano and Fausoni this is a Langhe Nebbiolo that soars above the pack. A standout effort from this long-time master of the variety.
