Schiavenza - Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba (2019)

About this Wine

We are very excited to offer this classic, terroir-driven Barolo from one of Piedmont's most esteemed communes. It's a powerful expression of Nebbiolo with remarkable purity, balance, and elegance.

Schiavenza is located in Serralunga d'Alba in the heart of Piedmont's Langhe district, celebrated for its great Barolo vineyards. The estate was founded in 1956 by the brothers Vittorio and Ugo Alessandria; the estate and surrounding area were formerly part of the Opera Pia Barolo (a castle that is kind of like the Hospices du Beaune: part educational institution and part hospital) whose vineyards were traditionally worked by sharecroppers. The local dialect for sharecropper is schiavenza. Today, the estate is run by the second-generation Alessandria sisters, Enrica and Maura, and their husbands Luciano Pira and Walter Anselma.

"Some grilled meat with some flowers and berry aromas that follow through to a full body with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Orange blossom. Chewy at the end. Very well done." - 94 points, James Suckling

"A muscular red marked by forthcoming aromas and flavors of vanilla, tar, resin, cherry, plum and spices. Shows burly tannins that quickly take hold, ending on the chewy side." - 91 points, Wine Spectator

Pairs well with Beef, Venison, Lamb, Red Sauce Pastas, and Aged Cheeses & Charcuterie
