Product Notes

Giovanni Rosso Barolo wine is an exquisite Italian red that beautifully captures the spirit of its homeland, Piedmont. This luxurious vintage embodies a rich bouquet of black cherry, mint, white pepper and dried herbs. It possesses a full-body with refined tannins and balanced acidity, complementing its noteworthy complexity. On the palate, it's resplendent with layers of dark fruit and savoury spice that yield to a lingering finish. Its powerful yet elegant nature is a testament to Barolo's fitting pseudonym, ‘the King of Wines’. Aging in seasoned oak barrels further refines its intricate profile, presenting a marvellous offering that is Giovanni Rosso Barolo.

Tasting Notes

A concentrated nose with violet and roses and tightly packed cherry. This is a Barolo with lovely ripe but firm tannins that give it a fine structure. Its also incredibly fresh and bright with the cherry notes continuing to the palate. A great wine to savour or enjoy with richer foods.
