justerini & brooks tasting note

It may be from the same commune as Brunate but this has a totally different profile. Silky, fine-tuned and ethereal wild strawberry and rose characteristics. Fruity but layered and complex in a gentle, unforced way. Chic and graceful but with surprising intensity and persistence. A fine south facing sandy clay and limestone vineyard in the Annunziata sub zone of La Morra.

critic reviews

94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2012 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is one of the riper, racier wines in this range. Sweet floral notes meld into a core of red berries, mint and sweet spices. This is a very typical 2012 Barolo that already drinks well early. Expansive and voluptuous to the core, the Rocche is probably the first of these 2012s that I would choose to open. This is a very typical Barolo from one of La Morra's finest sites.
