Einaudi's entry-level 2016 Barolo Ludo is juicy and inviting, which make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years, give or take. Sweet red cherry, spice and floral notes are nicely pushed forward. Short macerations of 21 days bring out the fruit and a lovely sense of mid-weight structure, along with silky tannins that make the 2016 easy to drink and appreciate, even at this early stage.
