Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Docg 2019 Magnum 150 cl Fontanafredda

FF BARSERMG

We were the first to begin producing this local selection, in 1988. This Barolo has a clear identity, representing the potency of the terroir of Serralunga and the elegance of the Fontanafredda style: floral, balsamic, vibrant and crisp. A wine with a long cellar life (at least 15-20 years).

Technical notes

Vinification: the fermentation is traditional: medium-long (15 days) in stainless steel vats with a floating cap at a controlled temperature (30-31 °C). The must then stays in contact with the skins for further 15 days to optimize the extraction of the polyphenolic substances and help start the subsequent malolactic fermentation.

Ageing: one year in barriques from Allier and one year in oak casks still from Allier (2.000 lt). After a soft clarification, the wine is bottled for a further period of maturation in the bottle, the lenght depends from the characteristics of the vintages, but never less than 12 months.

Shelf-life: The wine will reach its peak 6-8 years after the harvest, but its life can vary considerably depending on the vintage.

Pairings: Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner company

Serving temperature: 18 °C
