Barolo 巴羅洛五大名村之一

Serralunga d'Alba is located in the easternmost part of the Barolo production area, connecting with Diano d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Monforte d'Alba from north to south.

The village has largely retained its medieval appearance, with castles, terraced fields and ancient buildings attracting many tourists every year. Serralunga d'Alba takes its name from "Sera Longa", which means "tall", referring to the tall castle upon which the village was originally founded.

Terroir and Wine Style

Front) brown-yellow limestone, marl and chalk with high iron content. La Morra, to the west, is dominated by the former soil, while Serralunga d'Alba is almost entirely of the latter.

When young, the tannins are very obvious and the taste is sharp. After several years to decades of bottle aging The rear can show the delicacy and layers.
