Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba 2019, Giovanni Rosso
DESCRIPTION
This Barolo is an ode to Serralunga d’Alba, a historic and intense terroir of Piedmont. Made exclusively from Nebbiolo grown between 300 and 350 meters in altitude on southeast- and southwest-facing slopes, it undergoes extended aging (18 to 36 months) in large oak casks from the Fontainebleau forest.
The nose blends cocoa, dark chocolate, ripe raspberry, plum, and black pepper, delivering a warm and nuanced aromatic profile. On the palate, it reveals a savory, juicy texture, with mid-palate sweetness that perfectly balances the structure of the grape variety.
This Barolo pairs beautifully with creamy polenta and mushrooms, a touch of grilled blood sausage, a roasted vegetable tagine, or a slowly cooked aged beef cut.

REGION
Piedmont
Italy
Piedmont is one of the most prestigious wine regions in Italy, especially for its red wines from Nebbiolo and Barbera. Nebbiolo, the signature grape of Piedmont, is behind the greatest wines of the region, including the essential Barolo and Barbaresco.
Both made from 100% Nebbiolo, these wines differ in style. Barolo, powerful and structured, offers a broad, deep palate built for ageing. Barbaresco, more approachable when young, charms with its finesse and brightness. Two faces of the same grape, revealed by exceptional terroirs.
