From this winery

• Start up year: 1878
• Oenologist: Paolo Giacosa
• Bottles produced: 400.000
• Hectares: 60

The Enrico Serafino winery was established in 1878 in Canale d'Alba, in the heart of one of Piedmont's most interesting wine-growing areas, the Roero.

Founded by Serafino Enrico, an entrepreneur and landowner, the winery soon became one of the most important in Piedmont and among the first to spread the region's classic wines throughout Italy and abroad. In addition to the classic Piedmontese wines of the area, first and foremost Roero, Arneis and Barbera, the company produces great Barolo and Barbaresco from grapes from the nearby Langhe, noble and elegant wines in which the Nebbiolo grape variety expresses its characteristics at its best. But Enrico Serafino's pride and joy is the selection signed 'Cantina Maestra', in which the red wines Pasiunà and Parduné stand out, the highest expression of excellence of the Roero territory, and the Metodo Classico Alta Langa DOC sparkling wines.

Climate	The vineyards are located at an average altitude of over 400 metres in the area authorised for Alta Langa docg.
Harvest	The grapes are sorted on a vibrating table and cooled before being, still whole, gently pressed in an inert environment.
Wine making	Fermentation is exclusively in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The bases thus obtained remain in contact with their yeasts and undergo periodic bâtonnage until they are drawn for frothing.
Aging	This takes place in the historic cellars in the absence of light and at a controlled temperature for the time required by the vintage and in any case an average of 42 months. Dégorgement à la glace ends with the dosage of Liqueur d'expedition, which for this brut is 6-7 g/l residual sugar. In order to preserve the terroir-to-wine ratio, no wine distillate such as Cognac or Brandy is ever used in the Liqueur d'expedition.
