VINTAGE 2020

The vintage began with a mild and a long winter with little rainfall. Budding started in early April, followed by some night frosts. The month ended with temperatures below the average and well distributed rainfall. May was characterized by cool temperatures and frequent rains. June and July were hot and with little rainfall. The development of the vineyard was delayed compared to 2020. In August there were no heat waves. The harvest began on 29th August with the first parcel of Alta Langa and continued at a regular pace along with all the other grapes. Yields per hectare were below the average. The grapes were healthy and with perfect ripening parameters and surprisingly balanced in acidity.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

In 1878, driven by the Piemonte Attitude, Enrico Serafino followed his dream of becoming a wine grower. Since then, for more than 140 years, we have harvested grapes from Barolo, Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.

Today, Enrico Serafino is still family-owned maintaining the original artisanal soul, respect for future generations and passion for details that have distinguished the winery since the beginning.
