Giovanni Rosso - Roero Arneis 2021

Elegance, balance and minerality to be drunk immediately, indeed as soon as possible, as agreed by international critics who copiously review it, also converting on the extreme versatility and aromatic generosity of this Roero Arneis. " The palate is full and persistent, with an excellent correspondence between nose and mouth and a refined balance." reads Falstaff Magazine, while Bruce Sanderson writes in Wine Spectator, "Rich, to the point of viscous, this white delivers floral, peach and citrus flavors, with a touch of salinity."

Since the 1890's the Rosso family has farmed vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, notably the Crus of Cerretta, La Serra, Broglio, Meriame, Sorano, Costa Bella, Lirano & Damiano. During the early 1980's Giovanni Rosso restructured the vineyards with the aim of growing the best fruit.

Giovanni's son, Davide, studied Oenology and gained invaluable experience in France. In 2001 Davide, then 27 years old, took charge of the vinification & affinamento/elevage of the wines with one goal in mind: "Wine should be a perfect copy of its terroir"... in this case from the slopes of Serralunga d'Alba, among the finest soils in the world.

The Giovanni Rosso cantina (winery) is located in the hamlet of Baudana, just a couple of kilometres north of Serralunga d'Alba village. A traditional family cascina, or farmhouse, it houses the fermentation, ageing, bottling and labeling facilities as well as the offices.

"Notes of pale golden peach, stone fruit, orange peel, Meyer lemon and honey emerge from the 2021 Roero Arneis. It is medium-bodied and salty with fresh acidity, citrus pith, and a bit of Parmesan. A wonderful aperitif or for crudo, drink it over its next few years of youthful drinking. Drink 2023 - 2028" - Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com (May 2023)

"Elderflower, green apple, lemon and melon on the nose. Fruity, round and medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Clean and straightforward. Drink now." James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com (September 2022)
