Barolo docg Cerretta Schiavenza 2013

The Barolo Cerretta of Schiavenza winery is a superb red wine that takes its name from the homonymous cru on the hills between Serralunga and Monforte d'Alba.

On view, it shows a beautiful deep ruby red color, while at nose it release a large and composite bouquet, with notes of red fruits, spices and liquorice.

In mouth, it is wide and austere with a well-balanced tannic body and slight fruity notes on the persistent final.

This Barolo is excellent to drink in combination with roasted or grilled red meat, risotto with porcini mushrooms, truffle dishes and medium seasoning cheeses.

The Schiavenza winery was founded in Serralunga in 1956.
The origin of the name has to be searched in the past; in fact in times past the Opera Pia Barolo owned both the domain and the lands, and sharecropper called “Schiavenza” in dialect, worked the vineyards. The winery was founded by Alessandria brothers and today is managed by the agronomist Luciano Pira, with his wife Maura and his brother-in-law Walter. In addition to the vineyards in Serralunga district, the winery owns some vineyards in the district of Monforte d'Alba: all of this are used for the production of important Piedmontese red wines.
