Barolo Serralunga d'Alba, Giovanni Rosso, 2010

£50.00Price

A village blend of Serralunga Nebbiolo from seven vineyards (Damiano, Brolio, Costa Bella, Sorano, Sori di Baudana Cerretta Piane, Meriame), the 2010 vintage is very tidy, with compact, red-black currant tea-leaf, clove and pepper notes; the palate meanwhile is ample, with crunchy red currant fruit, great transparency and limpidity, and salty too; there’s even something vaguely Pauillac about it, with its lattice of minerality and stature, a ripe fondant core and pulsating red berry acidity . Classic Barolo from Serralunga.

 

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.
