Giovanni Rosso - Barolo - DOCG
Description
Overview: The grapes are harvested by hand in October. After destemming and soft crushing, the juice is fermented in contact with the skins in a concrete tank for about 25 days, with daily pump-overs and one délestage at half way point.
Clarity and order dominate the bright ruby red, with notes of berries and pomegranate, violets, and aromas of camphor, candied cherry, and licorice. “This Barolo is a blend of equal parts Serralunga, Castiglione Falletto and the town of Barolo, a classic mix old-timers favored before the fashion of single-vineyard wines took hold” according to renowned American wine critic Antonio Galloni.
Tasting Notes: Sharp, floral notes. Cherry in alcohol, star anise and raspberry hints. Fine and elegant body, neat tannins and long finish.
Pairing: Fresh pasta dishes, grilled fish with sauces, lamb skewers, red and whit meats.
