2018 Barolo, Cerretta, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This 36-year-old site sits at almost 400 metres’ altitude, a natural amphitheatre overlooking the rolling Roero to the east. Richer, darker soils give it a more generous expression than Davide’s other wines, with the mixed clay offering more flesh on the palate. Fermentation and maceration take place in cement and French oak botti for three years. The wine is deep, heady and wildly perfumed. It’s welcoming in youth, but there’s a coiled core of earthy mineral grip.

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.
