2019 Barolo, Commune di Serralunga d'Alba, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

This striking example of a Serralunga d’Alba Barolo is a flagship for the whole commune. This is a blend from seven vineyards, including Broglio, Cerretta and Baudana, made using traditional methods: long maceration in cement, and three years ageing in Slovenian botti grande. For the 2019, we return to a vertical profile with high-toned perfume. The palate is crunchy with cranberries, blood orange and dried rose, while Serralunga’s ancient white soils give this wine its tannic personality and depth. The finish is firmly mineral, event taut – and unmistakeably Serralunga.
