A blend of fruit from three comuni (Serralunga d'Alba, Monforte d'Alba and La Morra), the Enrico Serafino 2016 Barolo Monclivio shows a dark and austere personality. The richness and darkness of Nebbiolo is well played here, thanks to simple winemaking with 28 days of skin maceration with submerged cap. That delicate process helps to build the color and the aromatic profile of the wine. Dark cherry, rose, blood orange and tilled earth give lift to the bouquet. There are hints of iron ore and salty minerals, especially on the palate. This wine will hit the market in October 2020 with a release of 30,000 bottles.

Elegant and vibrant, with expressive aromas suggesting cherry, tamarind and tar, followed by flavors of red berry, rose and mineral. Ends with a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2038. 2,500 cases made, 700 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
