FYI - new Serralunga producer of Barolo - La Briccolina - 04-06-2017 16:10:28

Hi,

I just heard about this producer and I am intrigued (because of the vineyard) but due to my age, I'm no longer buying Serralunga barolo after 2010 vintage. But if I was, I would be looking at this producer. No idea if they are in the US yet.

Thanks
Fraser
