🌟 A masterful Barolo of structure, soul, and site—combining elegance, precision, and the powerful voice of three iconic terroirs.

👁 In the Glass:
Shimmering garnet with amber edges—classic and regal.

👃 On the Nose:
A compelling aromatic mosaic: Castiglione Falletto’s morello cherry, violet, and rose perfume, Barolo’s deep red fruits and earthy power, and Serralunga’s signature minerality and white truffle nuance. All framed by fine leather, dried herbs, and a whisper of spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Textured and articulate. A silky entry unfurls into layers of cherry, raspberry compote, tobacco, and crushed rock. Tannins are firm yet noble, and the acidity brightens the mid-palate, leading to a finish that is long, savoury, and mineral-driven. A wine of grandeur with a poetic backbone.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Unbeatable with truffle pasta, braised short ribs, porcini risotto, or roasted duck. Also pairs exquisitely with aged cheeses like Parmigiano or Toma Piemontese.

⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Decant if enjoying now; best from 2025 onwards and will age gracefully for 15–20+ years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Giovanni Rosso’s 2017 Barolo is a symphony of Barolo’s greatest voices—each commune offering its unique character in one breathtaking harmony. This is a wine of place, precision, and pedigree, embodying the noble essence of Nebbiolo with elegance and restraint. A Barolo for purists, collectors, and dreamers alike.
