2019 Schiavenza Serralunga Barolo DOCG Italy

Winery Notes

"The Alessandria family has been farming this Serralunga property since 1956.

The estate and surrounding area were formerly part of the Opera Pia Barolo (a castle that is similar to Burgundy’s Hospice du Beaune – Part educational institution and part hospital), whose vineyards were worked by sharecroppers. The local dialect for sharecropper is “schiavenza,” hence the origin on the estate name.
Estate fruit sourced from multiple plots in the village of Serralunga d”Alba.

Great structure and austere. Dry and solid taste with spice.

Good with meats and cheeses."

Press

Rated 94 Points James Suckling
"Some grilled meat with some flowers and berry aromas that follow through to a full body with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Orange blossom. Chewy at the end. Very well done."

Rated 91 Points Wine Spectator
"A muscular red marked by forthcoming aromas and flavors of vanilla, tar, resin, cherry, plum and spices. Shows burly tannins that quickly take hold, ending on the chewy side. Best from 2026 through 2040."
