The Barolo Serralunga is made from a blend of three Grand Cru vineyards — Prapo, Cerretta and Lazzarito —where the steep slopes and mineral soil force the vines to work hard. I cannot think of another young Barolo that I have tasted more delicious right out of the shoot than the Ettore Germano Serralunga. There is an abundance of red fruit on the nose -- strawberries, cherries and pomegranate -- entwined with notes of violets and licorice. These aromas repeat on the palate, framed by elegant, ultra-fine tannins. This Barolo possesses an air of freshness and balance, but still retains its supple decadence. It will be divine served with a roasted duck or leg of lamb.
