La Serra sits above Brunate and is entirely in La Morra, although right on
the border with Barolo. The vineyard is 3.5 hectares, planted in 1953/1991 and
the elevation, 380 metres, gives wine freshness and energy with bright
fruit and crunchy acidity. Whilst it doesn't have the status of Brunate, its
full of surprises when it comes to cellaring, especially from the warmer
vintages.
The 2019 Barolo La Serra is a super-classic wine from this La Morra site.
Bright acids, bracing minerals and striking aromatics - all La Serra signatures
come through loud and clear. Medium in body, with terrific freshness and plenty
of verve, the 2019 is wonderfully expressive today. 93 points, Antonio Galloni
