Notes of violet and roses, some nice fruits with cherry and raspberry hints. The palate is quite easy to drink, with a fine structure; elegant tannins together with a good freshness.
Giovanni Rosso Barolo has a deep intensity that really comes through with aromatic truffles. Whether it's shaved truffles over pasta or truffles cooked in a creamy risotto, this Barolo will always be a winning wine pairing.
Pasta with a rich wild boar ragu sauce is an impeccable pairing for Giovanni Rosso Barolo, bringing out all the flavors of the game meat and herbs in the tomato sauce.
Old strong (crumble) cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino vecchio, old Gouda and old Cheddar, blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola, Danish blue and Castelmagno make for great cheese pairings with this wonderful Barolo.
We are a small, family-owned producer in the heart of the Barolo commune of Serralunga Alba. We make only red wines, and our passion is for Barolo and its great grape, Nebbiolo. Since the 1890's the Rosso family has farmed vineyards in Serralunga Alba, notably the Crus of Cerretta, La Serra, Broglio, Meriame, Sorano, Costa Bella, Lirano & Damiano. During the early 1980's Giovanni Rosso restructured the vineyards with the aim of growing the best fruit. Giovanni's son, Davide, studied Oenology and gained invaluable experience in France.In 2001 Davide, then 27 years old, took charge of the vinification & affinamento/elevage of the wines with one goal in mind: Wine should be a perfect copy of its terroir in this case from the slopes of Serralunga d'Alba, among the finest soils in the world. The Giovanni Rosso cantina (winery) is located in the hamlet of Baudana, just a couple of kilometres north of Serralunga d'Alba village. A traditional family cascina, or farmhouse, it houses the fermentation, aging, bottling and labeling facilities as well as the offices.
