WINE DESCRIPTION

Schiavenza Barolo Broglio Riserva is an authoritative and austere interpretation of Barolo, celebrating the classic winemaking traditions of Italy’s Piedmont region. Produced by the Schiavenza winery, founded by the Alessandria brothers in 1956 and now managed by their son-in-law and enologist Luciano Pira, this wine exemplifies the esteemed terroir of Serralunga d'Alba. The vineyards, situated at 360 meters with southeast exposure, feature clay-limestone soils ideal for Nebbiolo grapes. Adhering to organic practices, the grapes are harvested manually and undergo spontaneous fermentation with a 15-20 day maceration on the skins. Aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, this Barolo offers a profound expression of its origin, with a refined balance of rich fruit, tannic structure, and a long, elegant finish. Schiavenza Barolo Broglio Riserva is a standout example of traditional Barolo craftsmanship, presenting one of the best quality-to-price ratios in the Langhe.
