Davide Rosso took over from his father, Giovanni, in the early 2000s. He has since risen quickly in reputation as one of the region’s greatest producers, with some of the most desirable vineyards in Barolo, showcasing the vivid terroir of his beloved hometown. The steep spine of Serralunga d’Alba creates wines of authority, power and raw minerality, which need a careful hand to reveal their intricacies. 

This multi-site blend comes from holdings around Serralunga d’Alba and nearby Roddino. Just like Davide’s top Barolo wines, fermentation is in cement, but maceration is shorter – retaining fruit purity, aromatics and drinkability. Six months in large oak botti give it a composed, silky sheen. There’s juicy fruit clarity, high-toned spice and floral perfume – simpler than his Barolo but with definition and cleansing vibrancy. The finish has notes of tangy black cherry and minerality. Drink 2022-2031.

Tasting Notes

The nose is typical of Nebbiolo, violet and roses, some nice fruits with cherry and raspberry hints. It is quite easy to drink on the palate, with a fine structure; elegant tannins together with a good freshness.
