Casina Bric Barolo Serradenari 2020

Elegant, vibrant and deeply rooted in its territory, Barolo Serradenari expresses the authentic soul of the highest hills of La Morra, combining finesse, energy and an extraordinary ability to balance complexity with remarkable drinkability.

Overview

Casina Bric Barolo Serradenari originates from one of the most fascinating and prestigious areas within the Barolo appellation, offering a refined and distinctive interpretation of Nebbiolo. Produced from grapes grown in the renowned Serradenari MGA, this wine stands out for its perfect balance of structure, elegance and freshness. The unique location of the vineyard, among the highest in the entire Barolo region, gives the wine a singular identity marked by mineral tension, aromatic depth and surprising accessibility. It is a Barolo that combines expressive precision with a strong sense of place, appealing to both dedicated enthusiasts and experienced wine connoisseurs.

History of the Wine

Serradenari is one of the most prestigious geographical mentions in the municipality of La Morra and represents a vineyard heritage of exceptional value. The vineyard extends across a ridge of white marl-rich soils covering approximately 7,000 square metres and situated at nearly 500 metres above sea level on a full southern exposure. From this privileged position, watched over by the majestic Monviso in the distance, the vines experience the rhythm of the seasons under highly favourable climatic conditions. Today, the name Serradenari is synonymous with elegance and longevity, producing Barolo wines that retain balance, finesse and a strong territorial identity even in vintages marked by significant climatic challenges.

Vineyard Philosophy

The Serradenari vineyard is almost always the last Nebbiolo site to be harvested. Its elevated altitude and constant airflow allow the grapes to ripen slowly, benefiting from the arrival of cooler breezes that encourage complete aromatic and phenolic development. These environmental conditions naturally reduce the risk of botrytis, enabling the grapes to remain on the vine longer and allowing the seeds to achieve exceptional tannin maturity. This approach produces remarkably refined tannins that contribute to the wine’s outstanding drinkability even at a young age. Casina Bric’s vineyard philosophy is centred on respecting the character of the cru without intervention, allowing the vineyard and vintage to define the wine’s personality.

Winemaking and Ageing

The winemaking process is designed to preserve both the varietal identity of Nebbiolo and the distinctive character of the Serradenari vineyard. Fermentation takes place with traditional cap management and maceration in cement tanks, a choice that promotes the extraction of colour, structure and complexity while maintaining aromatic precision and balance. The wine then undergoes a long maturation period in large oval wooden casks ranging from 25 to 50 hectolitres for 18 to 24 months. This ageing process encourages harmonious evolution, softening the tannic structure while enhancing the most elegant qualities of Nebbiolo. The result is a Barolo that prioritises finesse, minerality and vibrancy over sheer power.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Bright garnet red with elegant ruby highlights that reflect the wine’s youthfulness and vitality.

Nose: Intense and layered aromas of ripe red fruits, fine spices, aromatic herbs and delicate floral nuances, intertwined with mineral notes characteristic of high-altitude vineyards.

Palate: Savoury, vibrant and exceptionally harmonious, combining refined tannins with lively freshness to deliver a dynamic, engaging and highly elegant drinking experience.

Food Pairings

Barolo Serradenari reveals its full potential at the table thanks to its combination of structure and elegance. It pairs beautifully with braised meats, game dishes, roasted meats and slow-cooked red meat preparations. Its finesse also makes it an excellent companion to dishes featuring porcini mushrooms, Alba white truffle and medium to long-aged cheeses. The freshness and savoury character that define this Barolo further enhance its versatility, making it an ideal choice for refined gastronomic occasions and memorable dining experiences.
