Barbaresco Serraboella takes you on a fascinating journey to the cool, chalky slopes of Neive, where 30-year-old Nebbiolo vines are rooted in slatey clay and sandy soils. Here, Fontanabianca cultivates grapes with clear depth – vinified with respect for fruit, artisanal precision and the potential of the site. The 2021 vintage opens with gentle elegance. Supported by balanced summer conditions and cool nights, it produced grapes with balance and expression. The result is a multi-layered, elegantly composed framework built on its 12–15 months of ageing in wood without masking its finesse.

A medium ruby red colour with orange highlights shines in the glass. The bouquet is open and full of finesse: violets, dried rose and raspberry dance with sweet spices, rosehip and a hint of red compote. A fine herbal note and a hint of sandalwood lend depth. Structure and delicacy on the palate, lively yet balanced acidity carries precise and polished tannins. The long finish reveals minerality, cherry fruit and floral lightness – a Barbaresco that harmoniously combines origin, style and craftsmanship. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lush cherry and raspberry centre gives this wine a generous, inviting profile despite typically taut tannins. Great acidity balances the delicious red fruits that build on the palate and linger on the finish." James Suckling

"Simmering aromas of black cherries dusted with a full cabinet of spices rise almost ghostly from the glass. Dried rose petals alongside sage, laurel, thyme and black tea unfold as the wine opens up. The wine starts like a wave in the distance, but swells to a crescendo of tart red fruits, savoury spices, tobacco and dried earth. Elegant tannins hold the wine in place and want to share the load with a savoury dish of roasted meat and vegetables." Wine Enthusiast
