Gagliardo’s Serre 2011 is a Nebbiolo Barolo whose published reviews emphasize cherry and dried-berry fruit, leather and a firm, chewy structure. Freshness runs through the substantial palate. These release-era notes describe the wine’s original shape; they do not establish how a particular bottle has developed or been stored.

The producer
Gianni Gagliardo’s estate is based in La Morra and works across vineyard sites in the Langhe and Roero. Serre is a historical Barolo bottling in its range; it should not be casually equated with the differently named Serra dei Turchi wine sold today.
Pairing
