Barolo, San Rocco, 2020
A deeper more sensual Barolo driven by fresh blackcurrant flavours, camphor, a touch of blood orange and a firm minerality. Texture and tannin combine beautifully. Predominantly south facing, though they have two exposures in San Rocco which helps round out the mouthfeel. 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 over 70 years old. Aged exclusively in large oak botti for two years.
critic reviews
From producer Luigi Scavino, the Azelia 2020 Barolo San Rocco draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. This wine delivers a territorial signature to the mix with hints of ferrous earth and iron ore. To that, I would add orange peel and cooked cherry. The charming bouquet does a good job of enticing your interest, but like some of the other wines from this vintage, the mouthfeel is leaner and shorter than average. Production is 7,100 bottles.
The 2020 Barolo San Rocco is one of the most complete wines in this range. Aromatic and vibrant, with lively acids, the 2020 has plenty to offer. Readers will find a medium-bodied, elegant Barolo that is quite appealing in the early going.
