Giovanni Rosso Barolo La Serra 2016

From Giovanni Rosso’s La Serra cru in Piedmont, Barolo La Serra 2016 is a classic, age-worthy Nebbiolo. The vintage delivers a wine with considerable structure, refined tannins, and bright acidity. Expect a complex aromatic profile of red cherry, rose, tar, and spice, with a palate that shows depth, mineral profile, and earthy notes. Excellent with braised meats, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses; it will reward several years of cellaring. Tasting notes Appearance: Deep garnet to ruby with a brick edge developing with age. Nose: Red cherry, rose petals, tar, licorice, and subtle tobacco with mineral and earthy undertones. Palate: Dry, full-bodied; firm, well-integrated tannins; high acidity; flavors of sour cherry, plum, leather, and minerals; touches of spice and earth. Finish: Long, persistent, mineral-driven finish with balsamic/forest-floor nuances.
