James Suckling
Reviewed May 2024Bright ruby in color, this is a restrained Barolo with wild strawberry, Parma violet, cinnamon and orange peel aromas. The palate is crisp, with dusty tannins, a medium body, good concentration of blood orange flavors, a tight-knit structure and a polished finish. Approachable now due to the balance, but will improve with time. Drink after 2029. (AF)

Wine Spectator
Aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, rose, spices and tar highlight this light-bodied yet firmly structured red. Elegant, with a solid line of chalky tannins informing the mouthwatering finish. Best from 2027 through 2043. (BS)

The 2020 Barolo is a bright red/ruby color and is fresh with aromas of incense, red cherries, a hint of polished sweet leather, and a classic, fresh herbal profile. Medium-bodied, elegant, and weightless, it has a very similar feel to the 2018 vintage, but with a bit more ripeness on the palate and a bit of darker savory earth on the finish. It will show its best in another 6-12 months. Drink 2025-2035. (AF)

Vinous
The 2020 Barolo is a pretty, delicate wine. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, mint, cedar and a kick of orange peel waft from the glass in a translucent, mid-weight Barolo that is pure charm. The 2020 is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Lovely. (AG)
Notes
Giovanni Rosso's classic Barolo brings together Nebbiolo from several communes. The producer identifies fruit from Serralunga, Castiglione Falletto and Barolo. This 2020 is the regular bottling, alongside the estate's separate Cerretta, Serra and Vignarionda wines. The family's vineyards have long been rooted in Serralunga d'Alba. Davide Rosso represents the fourth generation, continuing an estate history that reaches back to 1906.
