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 Italy’s most prestigious wine regions, especially renowned for its red wines made from Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes. Nebbiolo, the region’s emblematic varietal, is the source of its most celebrated wines, including the iconic Barolo and Barbaresco.
Both made from 100% Nebbiolo, these wines stand out for their distinct styles. Barolo is powerful and structured, with a deep, full-bodied palate built for aging. Barbaresco, more approachable in its youth, charms with its elegance and brightness. Two expressions of the same grape, shaped by exceptional terroirs.
