Introduction

Pleasant aromas of cherry cake follow through to a medium-bodied palate with fresh, even slightly tart cherry, polished wood and firm tannin. Producer Information Villadoria, a winery deeply-rooted in tradition is building a bridge to the future. Over the years, the Lanzavecchia family, winemakers for four generations, has witnessed the evolution of an area which has its most precious treasure in wine. The Serralunga dAlba hills, in the heart of Barolo, is the ideal location for the cultivation of the native vines at the origin of Piedmonts most prestigious wines. It is in this invaluable land that Villadoria is located on the Cappallotto Estate: over 20 hectares in the heart of the Langhe. From starting as a nursery selling root stock to other growers in the late 1800s they opened their winery in 1959. In recent years, Daniele Lanzavecchia turned over the winemaking to his daughter Paola. Her talents have raised the profile of Villadoria by applying the most modern technology to the concept of traditional production, which takes meticulous care with every stage of the process. They farm naturally/sustainably, not using any pesticides or chemical fertilizers and are founding members of the Associazione Nazionale Biotipico. Paola has renovated the old cellars and brought in new casks and barriques, designed a new tasting room and the overall look and feel of the winery. She is continually improving the quality and flavor profiles of her familys wines. Her wines are the new bridge in the sense that they are softer, more elegant with integrated tannins yet still uphold the iron fist inside a velvet glove tradition of what makes Piedmont wines the most prestigious of all of Italy.
