Serravalle is a subzone of Colli Bolognesi where there are more stringent requirements for wine production than under the generic DOC title.
Colli Bolognesi Serravalle Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC is a red wine with the same grape composition as the non-barrel aged Colli Bolognesi Serravalle Cabernet Sauvignon DOC, namely Cabernet Sauvignon grapes (85-100%), with the permitted addition of Merlot (0-15%).
At a young age, the wine is ruby red, but it becomes garnet red with age. The scent is distinctive, characteristic of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, and the taste is full-bodied, dry, soft and extremely harmonious.
The mandatory aging period is 3 years, of which at least 1 year in wooden barrels and the aging potential is 7-8 years.
The wine should be enjoyed on special occasions.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
