Giovanni Rosso

Green Practice

Giovanni Rosso is committed to organic practices, avoiding all artificial chemicals such as fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides in the vineyards. All vineyard work, including harvesting and pruning, is done manually to protect the vines and the soil. They practice green harvesting and plant cover crops between the vine rows to promote biodiversity and soil health. Fermentation occurs with wild yeasts in cement tanks.

The winery's sustainability commitment is primarily qualitative, focusing on organic viticulture and manual labor to minimize environmental impact. While they have achieved "Sustainable Winery" certification from Equalitas, specific quantitative metrics are not detailed in the provided sources.

Year of Foundation

The Rosso family has been cultivating vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba for over 100 years. In the early 1980s, Giovanni Rosso restructured the vineyards for higher quality, and his son Davide, an oenologist with experience in Burgundy, took over in 2001. The winery has also expanded to include an estate on Mount Etna in Sicily since 2016.
