Description
Where it comes from
This wine originates in La Morra, within the renowned La Serra subzone in Piedmont. The vineyards are cultivated using Guyot pruning and a density of four thousand plants per hectare. The vines sink their roots into calcareous-clay soils, rich in magnesium and mineral salts. These characteristics, combined with a microclimate ventilated by cool, dry currents, encourage the development of a savoury style with great substance.
History and Curiosities
Barolo La Serra, known as the other side of Barolo Marcarini, takes its name from a historic area of ancient origin in the Municipality of La Morra. An interesting fact about its production is that fermentation and maturation follow the same traditional method reserved for Brunate. Furthermore, since 2015, the company has introduced a careful selection of grapes during the harvest to further improve its quality.
