The Story Behind the Wine: Founded in 1920, the Rossello family winery has over a century of history in crafting wines that embody the heart of the Langhe region. Now in its fourth generation, Giulio Rossello leads the winery with the same dedication to quality and tradition that his great-grandfather, Bernardino Rossello, instilled. The Langhe Rosso Nebbiolo represents the family's commitment to producing elegant and approachable wines that showcase the best of Piedmont’s terroir.

Pairing Suggestions:

• Red Meat: Ideal with braised beef or lamb chops, where the wine’s tannins and acidity balance the richness of the meat.
• Pasta: A classic pairing with pasta al ragù or truffle risotto, enhancing the earthy undertones of the wine.
• Cheese: Try with aged Parmigiano-Reggiano or Taleggio to bring out the wine’s fruity and floral notes.

Winemaking & Terroir: Produced in the rolling hills of Langhe, the 2021 Rossello Langhe Rosso is made with grapes grown in soils rich in limestone and clay, contributing to the wine’s structure and minerality. The Nebbiolo grapes are aged in oak barrels, softening the tannins and adding layers of complexity, while still maintaining the bright fruit character that Langhe wines are known for.
