Nestled within the picturesque Langhe region, the Barolo wine country encompasses 11 distinct communes, each renowned for their unique terroir and exceptional wine production.

The Serralunga Valley’s sandy, limestone soils produce bold, intense Barolo, while the Central Valley’s higher clay content results in softer, more fruit-forward expressions.

Serralunga Valley

Langhe / Barolo / Alba - Tour in Ferrari - Serralunga Valley

Within the Barolo wine region, Serralunga Valley’s sandy and limestone soils produce bold, intense Barolo wines renowned for their deep color and complex flavors.

Situated in the southeastern portion of the Langhe, this distinct terroir imparts a unique character to the Nebbiolo grapes cultivated here, resulting in wines of exceptional structure and longevity.

The wines from Serralunga Valley are often described as powerful, with concentrated aromas of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. Their firm tannins and high acidity allow them to age gracefully for decades.

For those seeking the quintessential Barolo experience, a visit to the vineyards and cellars of Serralunga Valley is a must.

More Great Thing To Do Nearby

Central Valley

In contrast to the intense, structured Barolos of Serralunga Valley, the wines from the Central Valley tend to exhibit a softer, more fruit-forward profile due to the higher clay content in the soils.

This results in a more approachable and immediately enjoyable character, with ripe flavors of red berries, cherries, and plums. The tannins are less pronounced, allowing the wine’s natural sweetness and fruitiness to shine.

While the Serralunga Barolos require patience and cellaring to fully mature, the Central Valley wines can often be enjoyed earlier in their lifespan.

This makes them a popular choice for those seeking a more immediate and crowd-pleasing Barolo experience.
