Barolo, Rocche dell'Annunziata, 2016

Complex aromatics of confit red fruits, wild flowers and anise. Seductive and sensual, limpid caressing fruit that bleeds into a savoury earthy spice. Complex liquorice and balsamic notes. Mineral as well as fruity and spicy. Gorgeous. The sandy clay and limestone soils give a very elegant, silky red fruited wine. A south-facing parcel within one of the region’s great vineyards, situated in the Annunziata sub zone of La Morra. Aged for two years in a mix of big and small barrels, light toast, French oak (15, 20, 30 and 35 HL sizes for the big barrels.)
