About Giovanni Rosso Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba

The Rosso family has been an integral part of the Serra Lunga d'Alba region in northern Italy for over a century. There must be something truly enchanting and mystical about this area to have captivated this family for such an extended period, dedicating themselves to the art of winemaking. According to Davide Rosso—the latest generation at the helm of the winery—the magic of this place lies in its stark white, chalky soil, which imparts distinctive qualities to the wine, enabling it to withstand extended aging periods in barrels (ranging from 18 to 36 months).

Such is the case for Giovanni Rosso Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba, a Barolo produced by the Giovanni Rosso winery using vineyards from the Italian municipality of Serra Lunga d'Alba. This town is notably one of the 11 protected under the D.O.C.G. Barolo and is part of the renowned winemaking area for this globally acclaimed wine.

We must look back three decades to 1996 to discover the inaugural production of Giovanni Rosso Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba. For this, Giovanni (Davide's father) utilized old vines planted between 1984 and 1996, with an average vine age of 20 years. Since then, they have consistently produced this wine, establishing it as one of the finest exemplars from northern Italy. Moreover, since 2006, the winery has completely abandoned chemical products, adopting an environmentally conscious philosophy in their viticultural practices.

Following the harvest in mid-October, the grapes are transported to the winery where they are processed, crushed, and destemmed before being transferred directly into concrete tanks. There, they will remain for 25 days until fermentation concludes, during which daily pump-overs and a mid-fermentation rack and return are performed. Once the transformation into wine is complete, Giovanni Rosso Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba will be left in contact with its skins for four to five weeks before the skins are removed. Finally, Giovanni Rosso Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba will be transferred to 50 Hl French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation will occur, and it will rest for 18 to 36 months (depending on the vineyard and vintage).

Shipping & Delivery Policy

Our Shipping & Delivery Policy

Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!

Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.

We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.

Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.

There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.

Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.

While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.

Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.

Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)

Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."

Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.

Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.

We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.

We offer some of the most diverse wines in the business, and we are happy to help you choose wines and provide recommendations by our sommeliers if you desire. Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
