Description
What kind of wine it is
Giovanni Rosso Roero Arneis is a still white wine from Piedmont, made from Arneis grapes, an authentic expression of the Roero area. It stands out for its lively aromatic profile, featuring notes of ripe pear, peach, tropical fruit and delicate white flowers. On the palate, it reveals a smooth flavour profile, supported by vibrant freshness and a pleasant mineral and savoury streak. Thanks to this structural balance, it offers a sip of excellent persistence, ideal for accompanying fish dishes, cheeses and vegetarian recipes.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from vineyards located on the left bank of the Tanaro river, along the rolling hillsides of Piedmont. The soils have a distinctive composition, characterised by sandy soils enriched with limestone and fossil deposits. This geological matrix gives the wine marked finesse and a clear mineral perception. The vines, aged between thirty-five and forty-five years, benefit from optimal exposure and altitude, ensuring a harmonious expression and a rich, balanced fruit yield.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting, essential for preserving the integrity of the bunches. In the winery, fermentation in stainless steel ensures maximum aromatic purity, precisely defining the primary aromas of the grape variety. This is followed by ageing on the lees for six months, a crucial technical step that enriches the structure, lending smoothness and greater flavour persistence. The result is a refreshing drink that appears in the glass as straw yellow with slight greenish highlights.
History and Curiosities
The renowned winery Giovanni Rosso, whose winemaking roots date back to the late nineteenth century, masterfully interprets this exceptional Roero DOCG. Produced exclusively from Arneis grapes, this wine is born on the picturesque left bank of the Tanaro River, where historic vines sink their roots into sandy soils enriched with limestone and fossil deposits. The fascinating combination of family history and outstanding terroir gives the wine extraordinary freshness and elegance, offering a harmonious sip that celebrates the authenticity of Piedmont's noble traditions.

Giovanni's son, Davide, studied Oenology and gained invaluable experience in France. In 2001 Davide, then 27 years old, took charge of the vinification & affinamento/elevage of the wines with one goal in mind: "Wine should be a perfect copy of its terroir"... in this case from the slopes of Serralunga d'Alba, among the finest soils in the world.
The Giovanni Rosso cantina (winery) is located in the hamlet of Baudana, just a couple of kilometres north of Serralunga d'Alba village. A traditional family cascina, or farmhouse, it houses the fermentation, ageing, bottling and labeling facilities as well as the offices.
Davide Rosso has been looking for many years for a new terroir where he could face a new challenge himself. The side-project was officially born in May 2016 with the purchase of the Etna estate near the village Solicchiata of Castiglione di Sicilia. The farm rises a few kilometers before Passopisciaro down to Montedolce, a small inactive crater that gives the name to the Contrada. We are in the northeast side of the volcano, a perfectly suited area for the production of red wines. The new holdings extend for fourteen hectares in one single plot among which just something more than six hectares are dedicated to viticulture: 1.2 ha for the whites and 5.5 ha for the reds (Carricante and Nerello Mascalese with small percentages of other local grape varieties, as the tradition requires). The training system has been renamed as "candelabro". Read more
