Indulge in the flavors of Italy at Giovanni Rosso Wine Tasting on Thursday, June 27th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. 🍷🍷🍷

About Giovanni Rosso:
Although the Rosso family has tended vines in Serralunga d’Alba for over a century, Azienda Agricola Giovanni Rosso became a label in 1995 when Davide Rosso took the helm. Trained in Burgundy, Davide cultivates organically, reflecting terroir in every bottle. From the famed Crus of La Serra to the slopes of Mount Etna, Giovanni Rosso wines embody tradition and innovation.

In 2022, the winery earned the status of “Sustainable Winery” from Equalitas, a testament to their commitment to quality and the environment.

Join us for an evening of discovery as we explore the rich flavors of Giovanni Rosso wines. No booking required. Cheers! 🥂

Thursday, June 27th | 5-8pm | Giovanni Rosso Wine Tasting 🍷🍷🍷

Wines:
- Giovanni Rosso Roero Arneis 2022
- Giovanni Rosso Barbera d'Alba 'Donna Margherita' 2021
- Giovanni Rosso Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Tasting plus food pairing: $23.00

Although the Rosso family has been tending vines in Serralunga d’Alba for more than a century, Azienda Agricola Giovanni Rosso has only been a label since 1995, when Davide Rosso took the helm. Davide is a conscientious man who studied at Domaine Jean Grivot and Domaine Denis Mortet. This Burgundian training is evident in his vines, which are grown organically with no pesticides or herbicides. His wines reflect terroir first and foremost. And what terroir! Grapes come from the famed Crus of La Serra, Cerretta, Broglio, Meriame, Sorano, Costa Bella, Lirano, and Damiano.

In July of 2016, Davide purchased a small vineyard of decades-old vines on the northern slope of Mount Etna. He plans to vinify small lots of indigenous varietal Nerello Mascalese (a bit like Nebbiolo, but with thicker skin to withstand the Sicilian sun). As Wine Spectator’s Robert Camuto reported, “Rosso won’t be the first Piemontese to make wine on Etna; Piedmont enologists have been consulting there for years. But he is being heralded — and largely welcomed — as the first high-profile Barolista to expand here.”

Fermentation occurs with wild yeasts in cement tanks without temperature control; wines age in 5000 litre French oak barrels. This is a departure from tradition, which would see these made of Slovenian oak. Although a young winery, Giovanni Rosso has quickly proven to be one of the best in the region.

In 2022, the winery was assessed by Equalitas, and awarded the status of “Sustainable Winery”.
