Description
This striking example of a Serralunga d’Alba Barolo is a flagship for the whole commune. This is a blend from seven vineyards, including Broglio, Cerretta and Baudana, made using traditional methods: long maceration in cement, and three years ageing in Slovenian botti grande. For the 2019, we return to a vertical profile with high-toned perfume. The palate is crunchy with cranberries, blood orange and dried rose, while Serralunga’s ancient white soils give this wine its tannic personality and depth. The finish is firmly mineral, event taut – and unmistakeably Serralunga.

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.
