2016 Barolo, Commune di Serralunga d'Alba, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

The Serralunga commune really thrived in 2016 and Davide feels it is his best vintage in the last 20 years. This is a blend of six parcels, beautifully showcasing the style of Serralunga Barolo. The fruit was such high quality in 2016 that Davide decided to age it in botti for 30 months, six months longer than usual. A deep core of black cherry is overlaid with notes of peach and dried herbs. It’s full and well-structured with prominent tannins. Drink 2022-2040.

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.
