2019 Barolo, Cerretta, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This 37-year-old site sits at almost 400 metres altitude, in an east-facing amphitheatre at the crest of Serralunga’s spine. White calcareous soils mixed with richer, darker ones give it a more generous expression than Giovanni Rosso’s other wines, with more pulp on the palate. The wine underwent long maceration in cement, and three years in Slovenian botti grande. This is complete and compact, with fine earthy fruit, a dark rose scent, and heady spices interwoven with white soil tension.

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.
