More about the 2017 Casina Bric Serralunga D'Alba Barolo: From the moment it flows into the glass, Casina Bric’s 2017 Barolo from Serralunga d’Alba enchants, weaving together power and elegance in a way that defines the finest expressions of Barolo. This wine carries the voice of its birthplace with remarkable precision, hailing from one of the loftiest reaches of the Barolo region. Its name, Casina Bric—meaning "hilltop farm" in the local tongue—nods to this elevated origin. Serralunga d’Alba is celebrated for crafting Barolos of bold character, shaped by limestone-laden soils that lend the wines a taut energy, profound depth, and the promise of long aging. Here, the balance of high altitude and the region’s dramatic day-to-night temperature swings creates a captivating harmony. Nebbiolo’s robust framework softens just enough to unveil its more alluring side—fragrant, layered, and refined. At Casina Bric, winemaking leans on its deep respect for tradition, with methods honed over generations guiding the wine’s journey. Now, with time in the bottle, the 2017 vintage has matured gracefully. Its once-edgy intensity has mellowed, revealing delicate traces of dried rose, truffle, and warm spice. The result is a tasting experience as vivid and compelling as the land from which it springs.
