Stéphane Lefevbre, who drove the Citroen C3 and supported by the brand, steps up on the podium.

Once again, this year, driven by his passion for motorsport and dedication to the territory, Barolo producer Davide Rosso supported the 18th edition of the Rally Regione Piemonte, which inherits the tradition of the Alba Rally with a focus on sustainability and provides international competitors with the winding ups and downs of the Langhe, capable of guaranteeing a high-level technical target.

Breathtaking spring landscapes, a UNESCO heritage site, hosted on 12 and 13 April the Zone Rally Cup, organised by Cinzano Rally Team, in collaboration with ACI Cuneo and sponsored by the Piedmont Region, which ended with a podium finish for Stéphane Lefevbre and his team. The Frenchman, WRC3 World Champion and fresh from his participation in the Monte Carlo Rally, a stage of the WRC, returned to the Piedmontese roads in search of redemption after missing the victory by a whisker last year. The transalpine, driving a Citroen C3 Rally 2, managed by the D-Max team and signed Giovanni Rosso, finished second.

The producer of “the red of the year” thus consolidates its tradition in Albese motorsport, a sporting label of the local identity.
