The 2013 Barolo Serralunga d’Alba is a wine of heft and power. This is a site-specific expression that reflects the darker colors, aromatic intensity and firmer tannic structure that can be achieved specifically in this township. The wine impresses for its focus and finesse. A greater percentage of barrique is used because the fruit had the dense fiber and broad shoulders to support that extra oak….this wine makes a bold statement on the unique qualities that define this celebrated Barolo sub zone. – M.L.
