ABOUT THIS WINE
Giovanni Rosso is a historic estate located in Serralunga d'Alba, one of the most prestigious communes of the Barolo zone in Piedmont, Italy. The Rosso family has been tending vineyards here since the late 1890s, though they only began bottling wine under their own label in 1995 under the guidance of Davide Rosso. This Langhe Nebbiolo is crafted from younger vines grown in the estate's prized limestone-rich soils of Serralunga d'Alba, offering a vibrant, terroir-driven expression of Piedmont's signature grape.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are strictly hand-harvested in mid-October from sustainably farmed vineyards trained in the Guyot system, where no chemical products have been used since 2006. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled concrete vats and stainless steel tanks with native yeasts, lasting around 10 to 15 days with daily pumping over. The wine is then aged in large French oak casks (botti) for several months to preserve the fresh, primary fruit characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape while adding subtle structure.
