The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Nestled in the famous terroir of Serralunga, in the heart of the Barolo region, Schiavenza is a 10-hectare family estate brimming with energy. Its owner watches over it like a prized jewel,  cultivating the nebbiolo grape variety in a traditional style.
Wine A model of Barolo, the 2018 Red Serralunga d'Alba Barolo combines luscious morello cherry and toasty aromas with a refined, infused and delicate palate, marked by the presence of firm tannins. It is a wine to be decanted before drinking to refine its substance and which will evolve beautifully over time. To be reserved on a piece of lamb or beef.
Vinification Manual harvesting. Fermentation and maceration in cement vats for about 15 to 20 days at temperatures ranging from 27 to 30°C. Aging for 18 to 30 months in Slovenian oak barrels followed by at least 6 months in the bottle.
