2015 Barolo, Cerretta, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Davide owns 2.5 hectares on the southeast-facing side of this cru. The sun only hits this site in the morning, producing wines often lighter in colour than his others. The soils are rich in clay, giving more generosity to this expression of Serralunga. Bright and red-fruited, there’s an appealing lift of spice on the nose, with a rich, fleshy, enveloping palate of red cherry and herbs. It’s very pure and focused, with supple and honed tannins. Drink 2024-2040.

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.
