Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga D'Alba 2019
Serralunga, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyFrom a stellar vintage in 2019, this is a label you can depend on, and given the year, it is one that will keep easily for 10-15 years. The Serralunga label first appeared in 1988, celebrating the terroir of Serralunga and its ability to produce elegant wines. The nose is a classic red plum affair streaked with leather, earth and truffle. Freshness and finesse mark a wine that the sommelier and collectors mostly underrate because production is significant. Still, it meets the grade for affordable, high quality Barolo. Meat and cheese are the traditional matches, but boeuf bourguignon, Nasi Goreng, and smoked meats would all work outside the box. An excellent gift for young collectors.Tasted: 20 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $49.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
