2021 Barolo “Serradenari”

Giulia Negri
Discount Eligible $113.00
AT CART MAX

Boasting the highest elevation in Barolo, an unusual northern exposure facing the Alps, and a complex patchwork of soils, Serradenari is one of the region’s most intriguing crus. It gives Giulia Negri, an ardent Burgundy lover, a singular platform to take the Côte d’Or’s blueprint of terroir devotion and apply it to her own backyard, where she farms vineyards that span an incredible variety of soils and elevations. Inspired by the diverse terroirs throughout her estate, she has created three distinct Baroli. The parcel behind the Serradenari bottling features the most sand and shallowest soil of her Barolo vines, yielding a beautiful, bracing, tightly wound, and vibrant Nebbiolo full of cherry, rose petals, and citrus.

About The Region

Piedmont

map of Piedmont

Kermit’s love affair with the great reds of Piemonte dates back to the early days of his career: the very first container he imported from Italy, in fact, featured legendary 1971 and 1974 Barolos from Vietti and Aldo Conterno. Regular visits since then have seen our portfolio grow to now twelve Piemontesi estates, with a strong focus on the rolling hills of the Langhe.

Nebbiolo rules these majestic, vine-covered marl slopes, giving Italy’s most mystifyingly complex, nuanced, and age-worthy reds. When crafted via traditional production methods—long macerations and extensive aging in enormous oak botti—the powerful, yet incredibly refined Barolos and Barbarescos provide haunting aromatics of tar, raspberry, incense, tea, roses, and more. At times austere in their youth but well worth the wait, they pair beautifully with the hearty local cuisine starring veal in many forms, braised beef, pastas like tajarin and agnolotti, and of course, Alba’s famous white truffles.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Piemonte’s climate is continental, with baking hot summers and cold winters. Nebbiolo is only part of the story here: juicy, fruity Barberas and Dolcettos represent the bread and butter throughout the region, and other native grapes like Freisa, Croatina, and the white Arneis are also noteworthy. Value abounds in the Monferrato, while Alto Piemonte also has its share of thrills to provide.

Every corner of Piemonte is rich with tradition, especially when wine is concerned. It’s no wonder we have been singing the region’s praises for over forty years.
