2018 Langhe Nebbiolo, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

A blend from Rosso’s vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba and nearby Roddino, this – like its bigger Barolo siblings – was fermented in cement, but with a shorter maceration to preserve the wine’s freshness and aromatics. It was then aged in large 5,000-litre oak barrels for six months. The 2018 vintage has produced a very juicy, succulent wine showing black cherry and rose aromas, with a vibrant palate of cherry and raspberry fruit, and soft, juicy tannins. Drink now to 2030.

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.

Langhe

Langhe

Langhe is an all-encompassing zone lying due south of Alba and the River Tanaro in the province of Cuneo. Barolo and Barbaresco both lie within its boundaries. Langhe is also the name of a regional DOC zone, which is used to classify wines made outside of the traditional Piemontese varietal scheme. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region are, for example, classified as Langhe DOC.

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.
