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. In the glass, it glows with a deep, vivid ruby hue. Aromas of ripe sour cherry and raspberry mingle with a gentle breath of violets, lifted by subtle notes of orange zest, roasted hazelnut, and a whisper of sweet spice—an aromatic gateway into the alluring realm of Barbera. On the palate, vibrant, juicy fruit takes centre stage, balanced by bright, well-integrated acidity and supple tannins. Stainless steel maturation preserves its freshness and pure varietal character. The finish is precise, touched with citrus brightness and a graceful floral lift. A refined yet approachable wine, brimming with personality and finesse from a storied estate.
