Barolo La Rosa is produced from the most painstaking selections carried out in vineyard. “La Rosa” represents an interpretation of Barolo of particular importance: here it is the soil and the sun – or what is called in short microclimate – which commands man and guides his technical decisions, and not vice versa. Deep garnet red with orange reflexes. The smell reminds ripe plum and spirit cherry. Clear to the nose with a perfume between fur and tar. Undergrowth smell with a wooden accent. The taste is sweet at first and then it becomes wide and rich with a highly tannic note. The slightly nougat aftertaste makes this wine long and sapid. “La Rosa” expresses the qualities of the Barolos grown in Serralunga d’Alba at their best, with a marked – almost feminine – concession to grace and softness in its flavour and bouquet.

Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner company.

Due to the prolongation of the winter, the vegetative cycle started later than average. The spring was temperate with some rainfalls during the month of May that hadn’t caused any damages to the vines. The summer was hot and dry, as well as the month of September where hot temperatures created ideal conditions for a perfect maturation of the grape.
