Review Date: 05/2024Very classic bright garnet color. Aromas of potpourri, dried cherries and licorice, then firm, ripe, velvety tannins, red fruit character and elegant acidity. It displays a medium body with good concentration for aging a couple of decades. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Notes
The 2020 Giovanni Rosso "Serralunga" Barolo is an exceptional and classic expression of the powerful Serralunga d'Alba commune, highlighting the elegance and finesse achieved in this esteemed vintage. The nose is bright, complex, and high-toned, offering crystalline aromas of wild strawberry, Parma violet, and cinnamon, layered with deeper notes of incense, sweet leather, and blood orange peel. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied and exquisitely balanced, presenting a concentrated core of bright red fruit and earthy spice. The structure is defined by firm, dusty, and ultra-fine tannins that are tightly woven and extremely polished, supported by a vibrant, lifting acidity. The finish is long, pure, and savory, leaving a lingering note of flint and dark earth. This is a Barolo with both charm and structure; while approachable now due to its balance, it has the quintessential Serralunga power to age beautifully for decades.
