2017 Barolo, Ester Canale Rosso, Vigna Rionda, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

These vines were planted in 1946. The wine was matured exclusively in traditional Slovenian oak. There’s heady richness on the nose, a piquant palate and glossy mineral sheen. The talc-like tannins are as firm and fine as Carrera marble. It’s remarkably immediate even in youth, but decades will reveal the true complexities and delights of this hallowed site. Drink 2025-2045.

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.
