    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Deep, impressive, not too glossy, the Azelia San Rocco 2019 has a calmer, if slightly denser and rounder feel than the Margheria that preceded it. Forest fruits, damson, plum, spearmint and even a hint of nettle lends a sophisticated and measured feel to the wine that, like all of these Barolos, will benefit from a few years in the cellar. An Azelia monopole San Rocco is a top notch Serralunga vineyard that faces south and southwest, where the soils are practically 100% clay, a very hard compact grey clay. The vines are 70 years old. Aged exclusively in large oak botti for two years.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2019 Barolo San Rocco is an attractive wine that captures the mysterious, nuanced personality of Serralunga in the understated style that runs through all these wines. Dark cherry, plum, blood orange, exotic spice, cedar and tobacco are nicely delineated. I admit I miss the San Roccos of the past, but the 2019 is undeniably attractive.
