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.
