Winery
Abbona family produces high quality wines, continuing, year after year, the work started by the Marquises of Barolo more than two centuries ago
There is a thread which binds people, vineyards, cellars and bottles: the knowledge and the passion of producing wines which respect the unique characteristics of this marvelous territory with a very high wine vocation.
Anna and Ernesto Abbona, together with their children Valentina and Davide, are the faithful interpreters of the diversity of places, vineyards and vines.
They rigorously respect and preserve their typicality by vinifying grapes coming from their vineyards and from contributing winemakers selected in many years of activity, favoring the location and the cultivation capacity of each single vineyard.
Description
Serragrilli is a gentle hill in the commune of Neive facing southwest, where the Nebbiolo grapes receive the rays of the sun until late in the evening. The soil has a uniform structure and composition.
Always recognized as an area with a high vocation for viticulture, Serragrilli produces a Barbaresco of great pleasure: with a strong and full-bodied taste but, at the same time, harmonious and balanced, with sweet tannins, never too evident, which ensure an excellent longevity.
Organoleptic characteristics:
The color is ruby red, with garnet red reflections.
The bouquet is intense, persistent, with clear scents of berries, rose hips and spices.
The taste is full bodied, but, at the same time, harmonic and balanced, with sweet tannins, never too much in evidence.
Storage time:
2-15 years old
Vinification
Gentle pressing and destemming; fermentation, at controlled temperature, in thermo-conditioned tanks.
Maceration on the skins with periodic soft pumping over for about 8 days.
Malolactic fermentation in vitrified cement vats at a controlled temperature of about 22°.
