DESCRIPTION:
Since the 1890’s the Rosso family has farmed vineyards in Serralunga d’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. The Giovanni Rosso cantina (winery) is a traditional family cascina, or farmhouse, it houses the fermentation, ageing, bottling and labeling facilities as well as the offices.
TASTING NOTES:
“A fluid, vibrant red, evoking cherry, black currant and spice flavors, this is firm and vivid, with a moderately long, fruit-filled aftertaste.” Bruce Sanderson ~ Web only 2016 *2014 vintage, 2015 not yet rated
