2020 Langhe Nebbiolo, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Delicate, ethereal nebbiolo at a (just about) affordable price. Basically a baby barolo.
Fiona Beckett, The Guardian (March 2022)

This multi-site blend comes from holdings around Serralunga d’Alba and nearby Roddino. Just like Davide’s top Barolo wines, fermentation is in cement, but maceration is shorter – retaining fruit purity, aromatics and drinkability.

Six months in large oak botti give it a composed, silky sheen. There’s juicy fruit clarity, high-toned spice and floral perfume – simpler than his Barolo but with definition and cleansing vibrancy. The finish has notes of tangy black cherry and minerality.

Drink 2022 - 2031

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.
