About this wine

Briccolina is a prized MGA in Serralunga d’Alba, and Enrico Serafino vinifies it only as a Riserva in top vintages. The 2016 offers aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and violet with liquorice, tobacco and earthy spice. On the palate, it is concentrated yet elegant, with plenty of Nebbiolo grip and a finely woven texture thanks to long ageing in large casks. This is serious, age-worthy Barolo with the lift and definition that characterise the 2016 vintage.

Tasting Note

Leading tasters highlight ripe but focused dark berry fruit, floral overtones and savoury spice, with firm, grainy tannins and a long, fresh, mineral-driven finish.

In the glass

Deep garnet, youthful rim.

In the nose

Black cherry, blackberry, violet, liquorice, tobacco and earthy spice.

On the palate

Firm and focused, with dark fruit, vibrant acidity, grippy yet fine tannins and a long, savoury, mineral finish.

Enrico Serafino

A historic Piemonte estate with a strong focus on sparkling and structured reds. Enrico Serafino excels in Alta Langa, where meticulous fruit selection and long lees aging deliver precise, mineral-driven bubbles. Their reds show classical balance and clean craftsmanship. The combination of tradition, quality farming, and technical skill makes the estate one of the region’s underappreciated strengths.
