Description
This is a classic blend of three Barolo communes, showcasing the quality and complexity of the region’s vineyards. The commune of Barolo gives chewy power and fruit depth; Castiglione Falletto lifts the nose with floral charm; and the ancient white soils of Serralunga d’Alba give an unmistakable mineral grip. This is a succulent vintage with notes of roses, ripe red fruits and cloves.

About this wine
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Giovanni Rosso
Davide Rosso took over from his father, Giovanni, in the early 2000s. He has since risen quickly in reputation as one of Piedmont’s greatest producers. He may not have the uninterrupted winemaking history of some of his famous neighbours, but he is the envy of many: he has some of the most desirable vineyards in Barolo – Serralunga d’Alba, Cerretta, Serra – showcasing the vivid terroir of his beloved hometown.
