Barolo DOCG Serralunga d’Alba 2015

Barolo Serralunga d’Alba is produced from grapes from various vineyards in the village. That of Serralunga is considered the most full-bodied Barolo, with the higher phenolic content and an imposing tannic texture; for this reason it is also the longest-lived. Fontanafredda vineyards are located between 300 and 400 m on soil rich in limestone with gray marls alternating with sands.

The harvest takes place in October. Alcoholic fermentation with maceration takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature and lasts for about 15 days. Frequent pumping over is carried out to favor extraction of substances from the skins. The wine ages for one year in French barrique and for one year in large barrels.
