The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Barolo, the flagship of Italy, is a prized terroir that has all wine lovers in a frenzy. In this land of excellence, enchanting the hills of Piedmont, the wines align structure and elegance in a complete harmony that only a few can match. The nebbiolo offers here its best expression, reminiscent of its cousins from Burgundy, with whom it rivals in finesse and complexity.
Wine The 2017 Red Barolo Serralunga Alba is one of Italy's flagship wines, renowned for its strength and depth. It's a spicy-fruited wine with notes of blackberry, juicy cherry, spice, and smoke. The smooth, very elegant tannins and the middle-body palate make up a beautiful bottle of great style, served with immense freshness. A great bottle to enjoy now or over ten years, rated 92/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented for 12 to 15 days in stainless steel tanks, then aged in large wooden barrels for 24 months.
