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.


The winery

Azienda Agricola Schiavenza – Winery in Piemonte

Discover the story and wines of Azienda Agricola Schiavenza.

Family-run winery in Serralunga d'Alba (Piedmont) producing wines typical of the Langhe, with a particular focus on Nebbiolo/Barolo, alongside agritourism and dining activities.
Region: Piemonte
Country: Italia
Founded: 1956
Grapes: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto
Production of single-cru Barolo from Serralunga and a Barolo from Perno. Vineyards covering approximately 11 hectares between Serralunga d'Alba and Monforte d'Alba. Soil-focused agronomic approach: minimal tillage, integrated pest management and hand harvesting. Traditional winemaking with fermentations in concrete and ageing in Slavonian barrels for many wines. Agriturismo and traditional Langa cuisine integrated with the winery's activities.
Winery history
The estate began as a family business rooted in Serralunga d’Alba: the original core was purchased by the great-grandfather in the 1920s and the first label dates to 1956, the year construction of the winery also began. In the 1990s management expanded with the entry of new generations, and the estate progressively enlarged its vineyards and modernized the winery while retaining traditional methods. Since 1997 the business has also included a trattoria/agriturismo that showcases the estate’s products.
Production philosophy
The winery adopts an approach that prioritizes soil health and terroir expression: low-impact practices, hand-harvesting, and winemaking focused on expressing the terroir rather than on oenological manipulation. Concrete tanks are used for fermentation and Slavonian oak barrels for aging in the traditional styles.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards extend between Serralunga d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba in the Langhe: soils of the Lequio formation in Serralunga and sandier soils of Diano origin in Perno. Many crus are east/southeast-facing; the vineyards used for the Langhe Nebbiolo lie between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, with individual parcels such as Broglio and Cerretta.
