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:
“The 2008 Barolo Cerretta is all about textural depth and finesse. Layers of fruit caress the palate in this mid-weight, easygoing Barolo. Crushed flowers, tobacco and dried cherries linger on the pointed finish. This is a relatively soft, open, accessible Barolo for the year.” Antonio Galloni ~ October 2012
