Serralunga D'alba

2005 Barolo Nebbiolo

Rivetto Serralunga D'Alba, a remarkable vintage from 2005, showcases the true essence of Nebbiolo from the renowned Barolo region. This red wine presents a full-bodied structure, offering a complex interplay of flavors that are both powerful and refined. The acidity shines brightly, lending a refreshing quality that elevates its profile, while the tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that promises age-worthiness. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of dark cherry, plum, and hints of floral undertones that make each sip an exquisite experience. Furthermore, this wine is splendidly dry, allowing its intricate layers to unfold gracefully on the palate, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
