Giovanni Rosso to bike on the road of social sustainability
From London to Epernay to support Motor Neuron Disease (MDN) charity.
The 325-mile charity ride organized by Britain's oldest wine and spirits merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd ended with great success.
The 36-strong team of colleagues and producers, including Daniele Dellanoce, Giovanni Rosso's export manager, was led over four days by passionate cyclist and senior buyer for the Champagne and Italy at Berry Bros. & Rudd, Davy Żyw, who was diagnosed with MND in 2018, along with Lizzy Rudd, chair of the wine and spirits merchant. The journey, started from the merchant’s London home at No.3 St. James Street and finished in Epernay, Champagne, with the aim of raising £1,000 per mile for the charity My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, ended beyond expectations.
We are grateful to our partner for having inspired us to get involved in the fight against MND and remind that it is still possible to donate for supporting people diagnosed with this disease until 31.12.2023 by visiting the following link of the Foundation https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/bbr325

Giovanni Rosso's helipad now at the service of the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba
A unique case in Piedmont of a private area at public service, it will also serve neighboring municipalities
"A physical place that has become a symbol of civic sense at the highest level, virtuous interaction between private good deed and public service, authentic and disinterested solidarity. An example of foresight and a new segment of Piedmontese healthcare, which we hope will be reproduced by others”. This is how Gianluca Ghiselli, director of Azienda Zero, the regional health authority that oversees all the emergency helicopter services in Piedmont, with a reference user base of 4.4 million citizens, greeted the night-time inauguration of the helipad, which the Barolo producer has put to the service of the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba ex gratia.
The helipad, built for commercial purposes during the construction of the new winery and perfectly integrated into the vineyard landscape, is located within the Giovanni Rosso estate. From 6 July 2023, by reason of a specific agreement between the company and the municipality and being perfectly integrated within the regional 118 emergency system, it will be available for the community, day and night.
The bishop, Monsignor Marco Brunetti, blessed the area, in front of a large audience of Serralunga citizens, mayors of the surrounding villages, representatives of the Police and the Finance Police, the Director of the Urgency and Emergency Department of the Asl CN2 and the director of the Verduno Hospital.
