Principiano Ferdinando, Barolo di Serralunga DOCG, 2021 *Good Stock Very approachable in its youthThe Serralunga is Ferdinados entry level Barolo and comes from a 4 hectare plot of young Nebbiolo vines planted in the Boscareto Valley in Serralunga dAlba. As a result, the wine is fresh, full bodied, and generous, with classic notes of dark ripe cherry, dried herbs and rose petals, rounded out by soft, fine tannins. Very approachable in its youth, it makes for a superb food wine, though time for ageing will also reward more patient drinkers.
