Free shipping on 6+ bottles. “Classic 95” Points "You'll love how approachable and fresh this is starting with its lively and aromatic nose. On the palate it's bright, with dark cherry, raspberry and floral notes. Great structure, silky tannins and juicy acidity round out this elegant yet powerful and sophisticated Barolo, worthy of Grand Cru status." - The Wine Insiders Frequently referred to as the Burgundy of Italy, with the vineyards achieving Grand Cru status, the Barolo wines from Langhe are among some of the most sought-after and collected wines in the world. Famously age-worthy, they more-often-than-not need years before enjoying, but for those of us looking for more immediate gratification, the Giovanni Rosso Barolo Serralunga d'Alba 2007 is shockingly ready to go at just 4 years of age. The enormous talent of Davide Rosso was highlighted this year when Gambero Rosso (think Wine Spectator of Italy) declared "This winery at famous Serralunga has gone in a few years from being a new emerging cellar to being one of the most impressive producers in Langhe." At just $58 a bottle, this is also one of the best values to be found in this chronically expensive region. Super-small production with minute imported quantities, however, will limit collector exposure to this gem, with Porthos having the last 15 cases left in America. Please order early to avoid disappointment as this offering is on "high sellout risk" alert.
