The Diatto-Negri family has owned Serradenari since the late 19th century. The local land register has a plan of the farmhouse dated September 30, 1880, and signed “Ravinale Filippo, geometer at La Morra.” The caption reads: “Serradenari, where there is about five days’ worth of Barolo and Barbera.”
Today the vineyards cover 55,600 square meters, almost 14 acres, of land at altitudes varying from 450 meters (1,476 feet) to 530 meters (1,738 feet) above sea level. Serradenari’s are the highest altitude bunches of Nebbiolo grapes in the Barolo district. They yield “the world’s highest Barolo.” Meanwhile in the vineyards facing north, winemaker Roberto Cipresso is taking on the international challenge for Pinot Noir Bourgogne.
