The single-vineyard Barolos are produced from the most painstaking selections carried out in vineyards which tradition has preserved over time as emblems of exemplary quality. "La Rosa" represents an interpretation of Barolo of particular importance: even though it is the soil and the sun - or what is called in short microclimate - which commands man and guides his technical decisions, and not vice versa. Ruby highlights still show on its deep garnet red color, while its intense, clear-cut nose hints at spicy aromas and ripe fruit. Well balanced tannins for a young Barolo Classic. "La Rosa” expresses the qualities of the Barolos grown in Serralunga d'Alba at their best, with a marked - almost feminine - concession to grace and softness in its flavor and bouquet.
This Barolo is ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner company.
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Always one of the most elegant bottlings from Serralunga, thanks to the higher sand content in the vineyard's soil, this opens with enticing scents of pressed rose, fragrant blue flowers, pipe tobacco and a whiff of camphor. Linear, structured and loaded with finesse, the palate evokes sour cherry, cranberry compote, cinnamon and licorice while tightly knit but extremely refined tannins provide support.
93 Points - James Suckling
Attractive red fruit and roses on the nose of this beautifully focused Barolo with some real power and tannin push on the palate. Great balance and pure red fruit flavors persist fresh and long.
