For price to quality ratio, this is an astonishing bottling, being produced from the perimeter rows of their two cru vineyards, Cerretta and Gianetto. Gorgeous, almost weightless nose of violets, plums, pot pourri and dried mushrooms. It floats across the palate, with stunning length fine-boned tannins.
These are Barolo for the ages. These are like fine, restrained Burgundies, that at first nosing and taste, you could miss, but give them the time they need, and they are glorious, with the classical Serralunga terroir nose of roses and minerals. Sharing vineyards with Giacomo Conterno and Altare, their cellar is located between their two cru sites, Ceretta and Gianetto. They farm organically, but as the sites both border non-organic neighbouring vineyards, they do not declare it. All wines are vinifed and aged in the same way so as to best express their identity and terroir.

Serralunga dAlba. A relative newcomer, founded in 2013. The grapes came from the Gianetto and Cerretta crus. A single-vineyard Gianetto will be released with the 2016 vintage.
"Maturing ruby with orange tinges. A touch reduced with brooding minerality underneath. Peppery cherry fruit on the nose with a suggestion of new leather. Integrated, lively acidity on the palate that is filled to the brim with compact cherry fruit of enormous length but never out of kilter. Concentrated and packed with muscular tannins. Can be approached now". 17+/20
