Barolo CERRETTA DOCG 2021 GIOVANNI ROSSO

This red cru wine from the Piedmontese winery Giovanni Rosso comes from the vineyards of Serralunga d'Alba. The pure Nebbiolo grapes grow on south/south-east facing vineyards at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level. After the October harvest, soft pressing and fermentation in contact with the skins in concrete tanks take place for about 25 days. Throughout this period, daily pumping over and délestage are carried out to improve oxygenation and intensify the colour. The ageing phase takes place in French oak for 18 to 36 months.
