Piedmont, ItalyWinemaker Davide Rosso leads the family winery based in Serralunga d'Alba and, for my money, is one of the most talented winemakers in Piemonte. A mix of organically and biodynamically grown fruit processed with minimal intervention results in a stunning Langhe Nebbiolo. In my forty years of tasting, it is hard to think of a better nebbiolo that isn't a cru Barolo. Rosso is all about the details, as evidenced by a red native fermented in cement and aged in 50hl French casks, leaving it lively and fragrant from its plummy, rose petal nose to its tarry, savoury, earthy raspberry palate. It spills across the palate as a balanced, fresh wine with a stylish ending. The ultimate dinner wine. Real wine.Tasted: 19 October 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Piedmont, ItalyBurgundy-trained winemaker Davide Rosso leads his family’s winery, based in Serralunga d’Alba. The plots are farmed organically and biodynamically, with minimal intervention in the cellar. This nebbiolo comes from the same vineyards used for their flagship Barolo, and vines planted from 1984 – 2008. It was native fermented in cement, and then aged in 50hl French casks for a few months until bottling, without filtration. Teeming with fragrant roses, this finessed red shows crushed plum, wild raspberry, cherry, crushed stone through the medium bodied palate, firmly bound by ample, fine nebbiolo tannins to the savoury, spiced finish. Drinking very smartly now, especially with roast poultry and/or wild mushrooms, this still has a couple years in the cellar ahead.Tasted: 12 December 2021Tasted by: Prices:
