2019 Giovanni Rosso "Serra" Barolo

Decanter
Review Date: 01/2023Serra is always the more austere Serralunga Barolo from Giovanni Rosso; it deserves time and is not an easy wine. The nose is focused on earthy clay minerality, violet, dill, liquorice, dried cherry and peony. There's nice delicacy first due to graceful acidity, with elegant tannins at the fore but then a thick end, with massive sternness and an orangey character. A modern Barolo with old-fashioned typicity. (AF)

Notes
The 2019 Giovanni Rosso "Serra" Barolo is an exquisite, single-vineyard expression that masterfully balances the vintage's structural power with the characteristic perfume and refinement of the Serra cru in La Morra. The nose is highly complex and alluring, offering concentrated aromas of red cherry, violet, and dried mint, beautifully integrated with savory layers of iron, dark spice, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and densely woven, showcasing a core of pristine fruit framed by firm, yet velvety tannins and a bright, invigorating acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, pure, and tightly focused, emphasizing the site's chalky, mineral signature. This is a profound and elegant Barolo built for the cellar, demanding patience to fully reveal its depth.
