The Voice of the Land

Luigi and Fiorina have always tended their vines with incredible love. One episode really illustrates their care. Summer of 2008, two days after a serious hailstorm had hit Serralunga: their vineyards showed no signs of damage because the couple had ‘cleaned’ every single bunch to make sure ruined berries wouldn’t affect the rest of the fruit. Since 2009, the vineyards have been tended under the Vajra’s organic protocol. Intense research is also placed into monitoring and improving the biodiversity of both flora and fauna not just in the vineyards, but also in the winery fields and forests. The winery is sustainably and biologically certified.

In 2021, fruit was picked on October 13th and 14th. Vinification was carried in vertical tini, with gentle punch down and rinsing of the cap. Maceration lasted 45 days on average with a partial submerged cup. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurred in the following Spring.

The 2021 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba features a faceted nose of rose petals, black currant, plum, fresh dates, balsamic notes and sweet spices. The mouthfeel has a very long and elegant finish, with leather notes, tobacco, white pepper, dark cherries, mint and black tea.
