Enrico Serafino - 2020 - Monclivio Barolo - 750 ml.

Subregion: Monclivio

Enrico Serafino’s Monclivio Barolo is a focused expression of Nebbiolo from Piedmont’s Barolo DOCG, blending fruit from the storied communes of Serralunga d’Alba, Monforte d’Alba and La Morra. Made in a traditional style and aged in large oak casks, Monclivio showcases the emblematic aromatics of Nebbiolo — lifted red cherry, dried strawberry and rose petal — framed by savory notes of tar, tamarind and spice. The palate delivers medium‑to‑full body with bright, persistent acidity and firm, chewy tannins that give the wine classical Barolo structure and allow it to age gracefully. Typical alcohol sits around 14–14.5%, aligning with the wine’s ripe fruit profile without feeling heavy. This bottle is equally at home on the table with hearty red meats, game, roasts and mature cheeses, or paced across a cellar window of years as the tannins soften and tertiary aromas develop. Scored in the low 90s by critics, Monclivio is a strong, traditional Barolo that offers both immediate gastronomic pleasure and the promise of complexity with medium‑term cellaring. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a trustworthy Piedmontese red that balances elegance and power, Enrico Serafino’s Monclivio is a refined, curated choice.
