Description
Vite Colte Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba Essenze 2021 is a terroir-driven Barolo that captures the power and precision of one of the appellation’s most esteemed communes. Made from Nebbiolo and shaped by Serralunga d’Alba’s famously structured soils, it offers the depth, tension, and ageing potential that collectors look for in classic Barolo.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright garnet hue with the lighter rim characteristic of Nebbiolo. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, dried herbs, liquorice, and subtle earthy notes, alongside hints of spice and tar.
On the palate, it is firm and elegant, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savoury finish. The structure is built for development, and while it can be approached with patience in its youth, it should gain complexity and harmony with several years of cellaring.
Production
Serralunga d’Alba is known for its limestone-rich, compact marl and clay soils, which lend Barolo wines their distinctive backbone and intensity. The Nebbiolo grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, then vinified with careful maceration and temperature control to preserve aromatics and structure. The wine is usually matured in oak to integrate tannins and refine its naturally firm profile.
Food & Serving
This Barolo is an excellent match for rich, savoury dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, wild mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours when opening it երիտասարդ, to help the aromas open and the tannins soften.
