Barolo DOCG del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba
Grapes derive from the Vughera area, cru of Serralunga. A wine with a fresh and tart component.
A Barolo with a classic bouquet coming from the vine variety and the soil: hints of withered rose, undergrowth, prunes, liquorice and spices.
A bright ruby red color with an orange rim, fresh wine with a tart component and tannins sustaining a good structure.
The aromas are elegant, with a good intensity. The fruit is sweet, with more evolved sensations echoing tobacco and dried herbs.
Its full-bodied flavour makes it ideal for red meats and feathered game, particularly when braised.
