2023 Giovanni Rosso Langhe Doc Nebbiolo

93 POINTS

Michaela Morris - Decanter

From vines planted in Vignarionda in 2011, Ester Canale pays homage to Giovanni Rosso’s mother, who inherited this hallowed plot. It overreaches the humble Langhe Nebbiolo denomination both in the glass and in price. Intense violet merges with balsamic accents of rosemary and sage. Those floral notes pervade the midweight palate. Tight yet gracious, it is amply packed with sweet red berries. Sandalwood and tobacco drift in the background. Grainy tannins are rambunctious but should settle with a few more months in bottle.

Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast

Delicate rose petals and wild berries float above warm earth notes, while threads of dried herbs weave through the background. A bright core of strawberry and sour cherry delivers a perfect 10 performance, balancing the warm vintage's plumpness with the kind of poise and precision that would make an Olympic gymnast jealous.
