Barolo Enrico Serafino
Barolo Enrico Serafino er en klassisk rødvin fra Piemonte i det nordvestlige Italien. Vinen er fremstillet af vinhuset Enrico Serafino, der blev grundlagt i 1878 og har hjemme i Canale i hjertet af Roero-området på den nordlige side af Tanaro-floden. Som et af Piemontes ældre vinhuse, der på etiketten bærer betegnelsen som et hundredårigt hus, strækker dets historie sig over hele den moderne italienske vinepoke. Gennem det 20. århundrede har huset oplevet flere ejerskift og var i en årrække ejet af Krug-familien under LVMH-koncernen, inden det i 2015 blev overtaget af den amerikanske familieinvestor Krause Holdings.
Vinen er klassificeret som Denominazione di Origine Controllata og kommer fra Barolo-området, der ligger i Langhe sydvest for Alba. Dette område er et af Piemontes mest prestigefyldte og er kendt for sine dramatiske, stejle bakker, der ofte er svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret. Piemonte, hvis navn bogstaveligt betyder "ved bjergets fod", er omkranset af Alperne og har et enormt fokus på terroir, hvor jordbund og mikroklima spiller en central rolle i vinproduktionen.
Denne Barolo er baseret på Nebbiolo, som er en italiensk topdrue, der er tæt knyttet til netop dette område. Vinen er aftappet i selve produktionszonen af Enrico Serafino, der ifølge etiketten fungerer som både producent og modner af vinen. Sortimentet fra huset dækker bredt over Piemontes klassiske appellationer, og med denne vin forenes historiske rødder med moderne ressourcer i en traditionel piemontesisk rødvin.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded as this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
