From: Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: 100% Nebbiolo
Tasting Notes: Notes of violet and roses, some nice fruits with cherry and raspberry hints. The palate is quite easy to drink, with a fine structure; elegant tannins together with a good freshness.
Pairing: Perfect for any situation, it can be wonderfully enjoyed from a simple rural picnic to the most silver screened aperitif; can easily stand important dishes as well.
We are a small, family-owned producer in the heart of the Barolo commune of Serralunga d'Alba. We make only red wines, and our passion is for Barolo and its great grape, Nebbiolo.
Since the 1890's the Rosso family has farmed vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, notably the Crus of Cerretta, La Serra, Broglio, Meriame, Sorano, Costa Bella, Lirano & Damiano. During the early 1980s Giovanni Rosso restructured the vineyards with the aim of growing the best fruit.
Giovanni's son, Davide, studied Oenology and gained invaluable experience in France. In 2001 Davide, then 27 years old, took charge of the vinification & affinamento/elevage of the wines with one goal in mind: "Wine should be a perfect copy of its terroir"... in this case from the slopes of Serralunga d'Alba, among the finest soils in the world.
The Giovanni Rosso cantina (winery) is located in the hamlet of Baudana, just a couple of kilometers north of Serralunga d'Alba village. A traditional family cascina, or farmhouse, it houses the fermentation, aging, bottling, and labeling facilities as well as the offices.
