“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. Garnet-red with lightly orange highlights, it has a full, vertical and intense nose, an explosion of tertiary aromas, with long-lasting clear-cut overtones of withered roses, underbrush and spices. Its dry, austere taste is soft and elegant thanks to a soothing tannin, present but sweet that that flows on the tongue without being too aggressive. A well-balanced palate that guarantees a great drinkability. “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.

Regular winter with some snowfalls from January to March that helped to stock up water. Setteled weather conditions during the spring with some rainfalls and later flowering than the average. Very hot temperatures during a sunny June interrupted by some rainfalls. In August, there was an irregular weather: overcast sky and lower temperatures than the average climatic course. Fortunately the weather in September was really good and that helped Nebbiolo grape to mature perfectly with high quality.
