Product Notes

Giovanni Rosso Langhe Nebbiolo is a premium Italian red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Langhe region of Piedmont. This wine is characterised by its full-bodied, complex and elegant nature, with rich aromas of red berries, plums, spices and earthy notes. It has a deep ruby colour and a well-balanced structure with smooth tannins and a long finish. The wine is aged in large oak barrels for at least 12 months, which helps to soften the tannins and give it additional complexity. This is a wine that pairs well with hearty dishes like roasted meats and game, and it is perfect for special occasions.

Tasting Notes

Beautiful violet and roses on the nose with some cherry and raspberry fruit. This is an easy drinking wine with a fine structure, elegant tannins together with a good freshness. The perfect for any situation.

About the Winery

Giovanni Rosso

Giovanni Rosso is a 10-hectare family-owned wine producer located in the Barolo commune in Serralunga d’Alba. The owners of the winery, the Rosso family, have cultivated vineyards in the region since the 1890s. Creating solely red wine, they developed an extraordinary passion for Barolo and Nebbiolo, its great grape. Giovanni Rosso reconstructed and restructured their vineyards with modern layouts in the early 1980s. He did it with the intention and desire to grow and cultivate the highest quality grapes. 

Davide, Giovanni’s son, gained invaluable and beneficial experience after studying oenology in France. In 2001, he became the person in charge of the winemaking and ageing of their wines. He performed his duties with the goal that their quality should reflect their terroir. His belief and dream got aided by the most beneficial soil of the Serralunga d’Alba slopes. 

The vineyard plots owned by Giovanni Rosso consist of areas like Broglio, La Serra, Costa bella, Lirano, Vigna Rionda, Cerretta, Damiano, Meriame, and Sorano. The winery follows an organic style of viticulture to the best of its abilities. They shun synthetic chemical treatment reagents such as insecticides, weed-killers, and fertilizers. The harvest, soil tilting, and pruning get done manually to create and maintain the perfect conditions for the growth of the grapevines. They also implement green harvesting as and when necessary. The vineyard workers permit plant growth between the vine rows to encourage diversity and facilitate soil health. The soil types and features vary across the different sites of the winery. They range from marl and calcareous clay to sand and limestone. 

The elements of altitude, soil type, and sunlight exposure differ from one cru to the next. Thus, the workers adapt to the necessary conditions and implement process diversifications. They apply changes in each methodology and job to promote grapevine growth.
