Serre dei Roveri Barolo

Winemaker Serre dei Roveri on the winery

“We are the Sartirano family, and we have been making wine in Piemonte for generations. From Novello, in the heart of the Langhe, we work closely with local grape growers who share our passion for the region. We combine the knowledge we have built over the years with modern techniques, while staying true to Piemonte’s traditional winemaking style. Nebbiolo holds a special place in our portfolio. With our Barolo, we aim to express the power and character of this grape, as well as the finesse that develops when the wine is given sufficient time to mature.”

And on Barolo, Italy

“Barolo lies in the Langhe hills of southern Piemonte, where Nebbiolo grows on rolling slopes with soils rich in limestone and marl. The combination of these soils, vineyard sites and climate gives the grape its characteristic structure and aromatic complexity. We make our Barolo from 100% Nebbiolo. After fermentation, we leave the wine on its skins for around twelve days to develop colour, aromas and tannins. It then matures for an extended period in large Slavonian oak casks. This gives the wine time to combine power and structure with refinement. Expect cherry and dried flowers, complemented by spice and earthy notes. The tannins are firm yet smooth, supported by fresh acidity and a long finish.”
