2019 Ferdinando Principiano 'Barolo del Comune di Serralunga' Barolo DOCG
Barolo Serralunga is a remarkably gratifying Barolo. Nebbiolo grapes ripen on 3.5 hectares of land from young vines planted in the valley of Boscareto in Serralunga d’Alba.
The focus on the balance of the plant and achieving the ideal ripeness of the grapes allow Ferdinando to harvest in early October. The crushed grapes ferment naturally with their yeasts and without added sulphur for about a month and the ageing takes place for 24 months in 20 and 40-hectolitre barrels.
This vibrant Barolo weaves together sensations of violets, bright red berries, forest floor, leather, sweet spices, and balsamic notes. The finesse and purity of fruit are supported by silky tannins. Bright with raspberries the nose is ethereal, leafy-fresh. There’s loads of crunchy punchy fruit, plenty of rose petal fragrance too.
