Description

Reflecting its nutrient-poor white soils and lofty, South-East facing position, Davide’s La Serra bristles with a refreshing ting and straight-laced crushed rock minerality that will take a few more years to unfold. Not for nothing is Serralunga regarded as the Vosne-Romanee of Barolo!

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 92/100
Rossos 2006 Barolo La Serra shows more density and freshness than the Serralunga, along with high-toned flowers, spices, mint and berries that flow from its focused, mid-weight frame. Firm, chewy tannins round out this strong effort from proprietor Davide Rosso. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026.antonio_galloni - 23/12/2010
Drink 2014 - 2026

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.
