This Barolo comes from the village of Serralunga d'Alba and is made from 100% Nebbiolo. The soil consists of approximately 25% sand, 52% loam, and 23% clay, mostly on south-facing slopes. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures for approximately 20 days. It is aged for 24 months in large wooden barrels, followed by 12 months of bottle maturation before release.
2020 is exceptionally strong for Barolo, with wines displaying abundant energy and precision. The structure is still distinctly youthful, with firm, yet unrounded tannins and a slow maturation rate. This makes this Serralunga ideal for cellaring, while decanting now will add further layering and length.
Powerful, slow-cooked dishes complement Serralunga's robust profile beautifully. Think game or beef and veal stew, mushroom and truffle dishes, or rich pasta dishes like lasagna.
