Davide Rosso was 27 years old when he took over the winemaking duties at his family's estate in 2001. Sourced from 15-30 year old vines, family-owned for a century, located in Serralunga d'Alba, Davide ferments his fruit in cement tanks with natural yeast and ages the wine in French (Fontainbleu) oak barrels for 3 years, bottling without filtration. Wonderfully dark and complex.
