Enrico Serafino Barolo DOCG

Wine Description & Tasting Notes

MONCLIVIO is the result of the harmonious combination between soil, Nebbiolo grape and Enrico Serafino tradition. Enrico Serafino has been cultivating the Nebbiolo grape and crafting its wines from the same winery since 1878!

Thanks to the careful handling from the harvest to the oak refining, this Barolo is elegant, balanced and characterful.

PRE-FERMENTATION PROCEDURES: Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow to avoid oxidation and considerably reduce the use of sulphur. After destemming, the berries are hand-sorted on a second vibrating table and finally softly crushed.

OAK REFINEMENT: The wine is then aged for 22 months in medium sized french oak casks (2500-4000 litres).

Nose: Intense and elegant wide bouquet with scent of blackcurrant, liquorice, tobacco, spices, coffee and leather.

Palate: Harmonic and smooth with hint of blackberry, full-bodied with chewy tannins and pleasant finish.

Food Pairings: Great with rich beef and game dishes including duck and pheasant, especially with wild mushrooms
