2018 Barolo, Ester Canale Rosso, Vigna Rionda, Giovanni Rosso, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Davide’s oldest vines were planted by his grandfather in 1946. This Vigna Rionda has undergone traditional vinification, having been matured exclusively in Slovenian oak for 22 months – a shorter period than some ’18 releases. The perfume is brimming with notes of wild mint, anise, truffle and blood orange. The palate is pure elegance, but with great depth and complexity: wild strawberries encased in the finest of tannins, and a glossy mineral sheen. It’s remarkably immediate, even in youth; time will reveal the true complexities and delights of this hallowed site. Drink 2025-2045.

About this wine

Giovanni Rosso

Davide Rosso took over from his father, Giovanni, in the early 2000s. He has since risen quickly in reputation as one of Piedmont’s greatest producers. He may not have the uninterrupted winemaking history of some of his famous neighbours, but he is the envy of many: he has some of the most desirable vineyards in Barolo – Serralunga d’Alba, Cerretta, Serra – showcasing the vivid terroir of his beloved hometown.
