The Rosso family has farmed many famous crus of Serralunga d’Alba, most notably the Crus of La Serra, Broglio, Damiano and Vigna Rionda, Cerretta and Sorano since 1890. They were lauded for their meticulous attention to detail and sold their grapes to some of the most famous Piedmontese producers. However, in the early 1980’s Giovanni Rosso determined it was time for his family to have their own name recognized as producers of great wine.

Fast forward to 2001 when Giovanni’s son, Davide, joined the operation after finishing a postgraduate study in Burgundy. From then until Giovanni’s death, this father-son team became a focal point in the region. Now, taking lead of the house, Davide continues this upward trajectory in Piedmont (and now Etna in Sicily as well) by taking techniques he learned in Burgundy further to reveal the true terroir of their ancestral parcels.

Crafted to bring harmony to daily life and personal expression, this distinguished Barbera d’Alba also honors Giovanni’s great-grand aunt—a wine of nuance, clarity, and warmth. Bursting with juicy cherry and plum flavors, this approachable, lively red is underscored by vibrant acidity and soft tannins, culminating in a refreshingly clean, smooth finish. This lively acidity makes the wine an exceptional partner to a range of robust and rich dishes, acting as a palate cleanser. For example, classic pairings include mushroom risotto, a luxurious yet grounded dish, with the wine’s vivaciousness cutting through the richness. Barbera’s versatility also works well with tomato-based sauces, where the natural acidity of the tomatoes matches the wine's profile. Pair it with eggplant Parmesan or a richly flavored lasagna to provide a refreshing counterpoint that enhances the overall meal.
