The Barolo di Serralunga d'Alba DOCG produced by Schiavenza is a wine that excellently represents the distinctive characteristics of the Serralunga d'Alba territory, known for its wines of great structure and longevity. The Schiavenza winery, located in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe, uses traditional winemaking methods to enhance the Nebbiolo grape, from which Barolo, the symbolic wine of the region, is born.
This Barolo stands out for its garnet red color, tending towards orange as the years pass. On the nose, it offers an intense aromatic complexity, with notes of ripe red fruit, in particular cherry and plum, enriched by nuances of withered flowers, spices, tobacco and a light touch of leather, which testify to its typicality and elegance.
In the mouth, the Barolo di Serralunga d'Alba di Schiavenza reveals a powerful but balanced structure, with robust but finely crafted tannins that support a rich and enveloping sip. The well-balanced acidity contributes to a persistent freshness, which harmonizes with the flavor complexity, leading to a long and memorable finish.
Perfect in combination with intense and structured dishes, such as red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba also lends itself to long aging, during which it can develop further nuances of flavor and aroma , making it an ideal wine for special occasions.
