It is the clearest window into what makes this village the benchmark for structured, long lived Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerralunga sits on some of the poorest, most calcareous soils in the zone, and the wines it produces are firm, savoury and built to age. Expect dark cherry and dried rose on the nose, with liquorice, leather, dried herbs and a mineral edge underneath. The palate is taut and linear, with genuine tannic grip and a long, faintly bitter finish in the best Nebbiolo tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate was founded in the early 1950s and farms twelve hectares of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera in the commune, moving from selling fruit and bulk wine to bottling under its own name. Give this a decant and pair it with braised beef, game, or a plate of Piedmontese cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.

A gentle, south facing slope of just a hectare and a half, with calcareous clay soils and vines approaching seventy years of age, it gives a Barolo that leads with perfume and finesse rather than sheer muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is classic and immediately appealing: dried rose, red cherry, sweet spice and a hint of orange peel, gathering savoury notes of tobacco and forest floor with air. On the palate it is poised and beautifully balanced, the tannins fine grained and the acidity keeping the whole thing bright through a long, gently mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pira family founded the estate in the early 1950s and farm twelve hectares in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, with a total output that stays deliberately modest. Excellent with veal, roast poultry, agnolotti or a well aged cheese, and it will continue to develop happily in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.

Two hectares in Serralunga d'Alba on calcareous clay with a western exposure, replanted in 1990, giving fruit that carries the tannic richness Serralunga is famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the neighbouring crus lean towards perfume, Marenca leans towards depth. The nose is dense and brooding at first, with black cherry, plum, liquorice, dark chocolate and dried herbs, opening slowly into leather and tobacco. The palate is broad and firmly structured, tannins substantial and finely worked, with a long, warming finish that holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three Serralunga crus sit close to one another, yet microclimate and soil make each of them unmistakably distinct.
