Serralunga Barolo D.O.C.G.
|
Area of Production: Serralunga is historically known for substantial and very age worthy Barolos. The grapes are selected from renowned vineyards, most notably the crus Lazzarito & Meriame. The family estates, both west facing provide a natural amphitheater. The soil is calcareous marl with a good percentage of clay, where Nebbiolo achieves its greatest vegetative, vigor and production potential, wisely tamed by winemaker Paola Lanzavecchia. Trained on Guyot, the yields are about 25 hectoliters/hectare and average age of the vines is 25 years.
Varietal: Nebbiolo Alcohol: 13.5% Wine Notes: It is characteristically ruby red in color with garnet highlights. It is rich and expressive on the nose, with dried roses, cherries, leather, pepper, tar and truffle aromas. On the palate, it is dense and fleshy with a creamy, luscious texture, evolving in the glass showing the best of the Serralunga d’Alba cru. Wine Making Technique: The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and then crushed very gently. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at maximum temperatures of 28°C. The time on the skins varies from 25 to 28 days, to extract the maximum quantities of polyphenols and structure. Recommended Pairings: Full flavored red meat dishes, aged cheeses and truffle dishes.
