GIOVANNI ROSSO Barolo DOCG Vignarionda Ester Canale Rosso 2020/ 110p / A Barolo which is the epitome of the terroir of Serralunga, even from plants over 70 years old, a history of great charm. Raspberries in jam on the nose,touches of gardenia, beautiful balsamic nuances on the finish. The mouthfeel has salty tannins, a balsamic-fruity recall and a very long persistence.

As for the Barlolo tastings made, I can conclude that 2020 is a vintage that is the result of a sunny and balanced harvest, characterized by the great fruit, crunchiness and density, from which it emerges. In some cases, great balance between components of freshness and saltiness but made above all of power, elegance and depth. Wines of pleasant drinkability, interesting right from the start, with peaks of absolute excellence distributed among Cannubi crus in Barolo, Ravera cru in Novello, Castellero cru in Barolo and in the historic Vignarionda vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba.

Brunello di Montalcino 2019 vintage to be considered without any doubts one of the best ever made, even better than 2016, the 2019 vintage it’s able to summarize the best offered by the most favorable vintages of the territory of Montalcino, with memories of acidity typical of the 80s.
