Giovanni Rosso Barolo Cerretta 2016 stands as an exceptional representation of the prestigious Barolo appellation, meticulously crafted by renowned winemakers Davide Rosso and Andrea Delpiano. Sourced exclusively from the esteemed Serralunga d’Alba estate vineyards, this wine embodies the classic elegance and power that have earned Barolo its title as the “King of Wines.”

The 2016 vintage, carefully preserved in a premium private cellar, reflects the unique terroir of the Cerretta vineyard, known for its well-drained calcareous soils and an ideal microclimate. These conditions contribute to a wine with intense structure, deep concentration, and remarkable aging potential. The favorable weather throughout Piedmont in 2016 allowed for ideal ripening, resulting in a vintage celebrated for its balance, refined tannins, and profound depth.

Accoladed with an impressive 97 points from Kerin O'Keefe, a leading expert in Barolo wines, the Giovanni Rosso Barolo Cerretta 2016 reveals a beautifully complex bouquet featuring vibrant red cherries, aromatic dried herbs, and subtle floral undertones. Layers of licorice and warm spice add further complexity, while the palate impresses with a full-bodied richness, polished tannins, and a lingering, sophisticated finish.

Perfectly suited to complement robust Italian cuisine, aged cheeses, and rich meat dishes, this Barolo offers both immediate enjoyment and the promise of graceful evolution over time. Its prestigious origin and critical acclaim make it a remarkable addition for any collection celebrating Italy’s finest viticultural heritage.

Reviews

Rose, red-berry, camphor and dark-spice aromas slowly emerge in the glass. Showing Serralunga's hallmark of firm structure and finesse, the full-bodied, youthfully tense palate delivers juicy red cherry, raspberry compote, dried mint and licorice set against a backbone of noble tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced. Drink 2026–2056.
Intense, subtle strawberry with white-truffle and dried-flower aromas that follow through to a full body with firm, chewy tannins that are polished and beautiful. Needs time to soften. Muscular wine. Try after 2024.
