Winemaker Notes
Serradenari is an Additional Geographic Mention (MGA*), equivalent of the French term "Cru". [*MGA are officially delimited production areas within the Barolo DOCG Appellation and underline the strong link of the wine with the territory]. The Serradenari vineyards are the highest in the whole Barolo production area with plants at nearly 500 meters asl. We can therefore speak of high hill viticulture. Our Barolo Serradenari particularly comes from one of the winery's oldest vineyards, planted over forty years ago.
