This wine reflects the philosophy of Giovanni Rosso, which places attention to terroir and a respectful and sustainable approach to viticulture at the center of its production.

The wine has a deep and brilliant ruby ​​red color, a sign of the vitality and richness that characterize it. On the nose, Giovanni Rosso's Barbera d'Alba offers an intense and inviting aromatic profile, with predominant notes of fresh red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, enriched by nuances of sweet spices and a light touch of wood, the result of a balanced passage in barrique which gives complexity without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

In the mouth, the wine stands out for its extraordinary drinkability, supported by a lively acidity typical of the Barbera grape which gives freshness and dynamism to the sip. The structure is balanced and harmonious, with soft tannins and a fullness of flavor that ends with a clean and persistent finish, rich in fruity and spicy returns.

Giovanni Rosso's Barbera d'Alba is a versatile wine, capable of accompanying a wide range of dishes, from robust first courses to red meats, from medium-aged cheeses to mushroom-based dishes. It is also a wine that invites conviviality and sharing, perfect for enriching special moments at the table.
