Barolo DOCG Serralunga d'Alba

A biodynamic certified Barolo is a rare joy. To have fermented with indigenous yeasts only and minimal handling is another rarity still. What is not atypical here is the perfectly accurate expression of both the varietal and the appellation. This is a classically styled Barolo, worthy of decades in the cellar. Fragrant blue flower, rose, new leather, cake spice, and wild berry aromas set the tone. On the full bodied, savoury palate, you’ll find solid tannins wrapping around a juicy cherry-raspberry core while notes of cinnamon and clove give depth.
