WINE DESCRIPTION
Enrico Serafino Monclivio, crafted by a renowned winery in Italy's Piedmont region, is a celebrated wine made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the prestigious Barolo area. Previous vintages of this wine were labeled simply as Enrico Serafino Barolo. The vineyards, situated on hillsides that receive ample sunlight and have excellent drainage, ensure high-quality grapes. These grapes undergo careful handling, including hand-sorting and gentle crushing to maintain their quality. After sorting, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and oak vats at controlled temperatures, followed by a lengthy maceration period to extract flavors. The wine then matures for at least 22 months in medium-sized oak casks. This meticulous process results in a complex, full-bodied wine with flavors of dark fruits, earthy notes, and firm tannins typical of Barolo wines.

The flavors are rich and intense, featuring a harmonious combination of red fruits, dried herbs, and spices. A well-balanced acidity adds freshness and enhances the wine's robustness.
