2004 Barolo DOCG

Enrico Serafino winery owns vineyards in the hilly Roero area of southern Piemonte with vines over 30 years old. It is most famous for its production of Roero Superiore DOCG - also a fantastic red wine from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Here, the winery has sourced quality Nebbiolo grapes from neighbouring vineyards in the Langhe owned by a few selected growers.

Although this is a classic Barolo in style, the maturation of part of the wine in barriques softens the wine enough to enjoy earlier in its life than many contemporaries.

2004 was a great Barolo vintage and this wine could be enjoyed over years to come as well as drinking nicely now.

Tasting Notes
A superb wine showing complex flavours on the palate with trademark, yet light, tannins on the finish.

Matching
