Rocche dell'Annunziata Barolo Riserva

A restrained, dark and complex wine. It unfolds in the glass with notes of bergamot, tamarind, oak bark, licorice, dried violets and red cherries. The attack is supple, with a full body, refreshing acidity and ripe, velvety tannins. It’s vibrant and integrated, with a savory, elegant aftertaste.

An intense version, boasting cherry, black currant, plum, earth and iron aromas and flavors, with underlying accents of eucalyptus and rosemary. Firm and balanced, showing some development. Vibrant acidity corrals the lingering finish, and this remains complex and enticing. Approachable now, this red will benefit from another year or two of aging. Best from 2027 through 2046. 400 cases made, 150 cases imported.

A vibrant, linear and firmly structured red, this evokes cherry, raspberry, sun-kissed hay and licorice aromas and flavors. This is intense and builds to a long aftertaste of fruit, licorice and mineral notes, showing terrific balance and precision. Best from 2024 through 2042. 495 cases made, 198 cases imported.
