2021 Ferdinando Principiano 'Serralunga' Barolo DOCG Nebbiolo skiny Emma Marris Pinot NoirSerralunga is a remarkably gratifying Barolo. Nebbiolo grapes ripen on 3. 5 hectares of land from young vines planted in the valley of Boscareto in Serralunga dAlba. The focus on the balance of the plant and achieving the ideal ripeness of the grapes allow Ferdinando to harvest in early October. The crushed grapes ferment naturally with their yeasts and without added sulphur for about a month and the ageing takes place for 24 months in 20 and 40
