3/750ml. The Preve vineyard, in the cru of Lazzarito, is a cru of calcareous marls and sandstone, which gives a saline quality to the wines. The fruit macerated on the skins for 12 days; the wine was aged for 33 months in one 20hl cask.

100% Nebbiolo. Bera planted a single hectare of Nebbiolo in 2020. 2023 is the first vintage from it. Like all other Bera parcels, it is certified-organic and worked and harvested by hand. Bera makes the wine like its other reds. The bunches are destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous...

Schiavenza’s 0.9 hectares in the Prapò cru are located at 350m above sea level, with southeast exposure; the vines were planted in 1993.  Of all their crus, this is the one in which the soil is most representative of Serralunga: its high percentage of light-colored limestone naturally limits yields...

100% Barbera. From estate parcels scattered about the steep hills of the Monferrato zone of Asti around the Verruàs' home village of Scurzolengo. The average age for the Barbera vines is around 40 years. The family farms organically, tending and harvesting them entirely by hand. The grapes are...

100% Barbera from a clay and limestone-gypsum vineyard with 20 year old vines, densely planted at 5000 plants per hectare. Macerations lasted 3 weeks. Aged 8 months in stainless steel and 2-3 months in bottle, so it is not released until almost a year after harvest.          

100% Barbera, harvested from 2 parcels (Gatti and Battorella) amounting to one hectare, planted between 1920 and 1960 on calcareous clay with southern exposure.  There are even some bush vines here, rarely seen in Piedmont. Harvested between September 27th and 29th at low yields of 4,500 kg/ha (...

55% Nebbiolo/30% Croatina/10% Vespolina/5% Uva Rara. Unlike the riserva-level "Lozio" red, the "Santuvario" red is made annually, from Santuvario's younger (20-to-40-year-old) vines. They lie at around 400 meters in elevation among steep hills in the middle of woods on porphyry-rich volcanic soils...

Marcarini is its own cru, a cooler, southeast-facing site on the other side of the hill from Casot. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, with an extended maceration of 60 days. Aged in 1000-3000L oak botti for 2 years, followed by 6 months in bottle.

La Rina is 100% Slarina, another indigenous Piedmontese variety that had nearly disappeared.  Fabrizio is a believer in this grape and he planted nearly a hectare and half of it in 2013.  With such a large surface area (for Slarina), he jokes, "I am the most important producer of Slarina in the...
