Traditional Barolo house also crafting an elegant Barbaresco cru (Serraboella).
Fratelli Barale is a historic winery located in the heart of Barolo, Piedmont, with roots dating back to 1870. The estate is renowned for its traditional approach to winemaking, emphasizing long macerations and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. While best known for its Barolo crus (including Castellero and Bussia), the family also owns the Serraboella vineyard in the Neive commune of the Barbaresco appellation, producing a Barbaresco DOCG Serraboella of exceptional elegance and longevity. By balancing ancestral techniques with modern precision, the Barale family crafts authentic expressions of the Nebbiolo grape reflecting the unique terroir of their vineyard sites across both appellations.
