Giovanni Rosso Serralunga d'Alba
Giovanni Rosso's Serralunga d'Alba Barolo represents the classic heart of this historic commune. Davide Rosso, who took over from his father Giovanni in the 1990s, works with old-vine Nebbiolo from key Serralunga sites, crafting wines that speak clearly of place. Fermentation occurs in concrete, with long macerations to build depth and structure, followed by extended maturation in large, neutral French oak botti to preserve purity and nuance. Each vintage shows the hallmarks of Serralunga, perfumed red cherry and rose, layered with tobacco, earth and iron. The palate combines freshness and tension with fine, persistent tannins that promise graceful ageing. It is both an introduction to and an authentic expression of one of Barolo's most powerful terroirs. A wine built for the cellar but compelling even in youth, the Giovanni Rosso Serralunga d'Alba Barolo offers pedigree and value in equal measure.
Giovanni Rosso Barolo DOCG Serra
From the Serra vineyard, perched on the heights of Serralunga d’Alba, this Giovanni Rosso Barolo embodies the mineral power typical of this iconic Piedmont terroir. Grown at altitudes between 370 and 395 meters on slopes facing east and southeast, this 100% Nebbiolo is patiently vinified and aged for up to 36 months in large French oak casks. The nose reveals deep aromas of blackberry, raspberry, mint, and balsamic—hallmark notes of great Serralunga wines. The palate is structured, with powerful yet elegant tannins, great persistence, and a refined finish. This Barolo pairs perfectly with herb-crusted slow-cooked lamb shoulder, roasted duck breast, or even a gourmet truffle and mushroom pizza.
