Serralunga d'Alba stands for powerful Barolo with depth, structure and astonishing ageing potential. Giovanni Rosso draws the best from this origin: south-east to south-west facing vines on calcareous, clayey-maceous soils at high altitudes (300-350 metres), combined with rigorous natural cultivation. The 2020 vintage recorded optimal ripeness, favoured by warm days, cool nights and a flawless autumn. After careful manual harvesting, each parcel underwent separate 25-day maceration, after which the wine matured for between 24 and 60 months in large oak barrels.

In the glass, it has an intense ruby red colour with a sparkling core. The bouquet unfolds a multi-layered world of aromas: ripe wild cherry, juicy raspberry and redcurrant, accompanied by notes of Swiss stone pine, rose petals, star anise, clove and white pepper – an aromatic painting of rare precision. On the palate, the wine is structured yet elegant, with silky tannins, lively, clear acidity and a cool minerality. The long, salty-mineral finish is characterised by a fine orchestral complexity. A Barolo that makes the full scope of Serralunga's terroir tangible – powerful, refined and ready for a great future. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant ruby red with a slightly brightening, orange-coloured rim. Initially somewhat reserved on the nose, then opens up to wild berries and raspberries, with a slightly smoky note in the background and some undergrowth. On the palate with a beautiful fruit entry, fine melting and good balance, the tannins are tightly meshed and well integrated, ending in a long final on raspberries." Falstaff

"Balsamic elements of juniper, eucalyptus and wild mountain undergrowth frame the cherry and strawberry fruit in this firmly structured red wine. It is fresh and balanced, but needs a few more years to consolidate." Wine Spectator

"Very classic bright garnet red colour. Aromas of potpourri, dried cherries and liquorice, then firm, ripe, velvety tannins, red fruit character and elegant acidity. It shows a medium body with good concentration to age for a few decades." James Suckling
