2018 Barolo, Commune di Serralunga d'Alba, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This is from six vineyards, including Meriame, Costa Bella and Davide’s infamous Cerretta cru. Like the estate’s top wines, this is made following traditional methods. Although more approachable in youth, it is still of equal calibre. For the 2018, there is immediate pleasure on the palate which winemaker Andrea describes as goloso (greedy). It’s charming, with notes of glassy cherries, cranberries, blood orange and blue fruits. Serralunga’s ancient white soils give this wine its personality and depth. The finish is firmly mineral, even taut – which is unmistakably Serralunga.

Critics reviews

Kerin O'Keefe 94/100

Aromas of red berry, camphor and wet stone form the nose. Savory and vaunting an understated elegance, the luminous, focused palate offers strawberry compote, juicy red cherry, baking spice and crushed mint framed in fine-grained tannins. Vibrant acidity keeps it energized and balanced.

Drink 2026 - 2033
