"A great Barolo that has been highly praised by critics!"

“The 2019 Barolo Rocche Dell’Annunziata is spectacular. Aged for two years in 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, it is brimming with aromas of licorice, raspberry liqueur, crushed roses, and crushed stone. Full-bodied, with a sense of weightlessness, fine-grained tannins, and fresh acidity, it offers a continuous arc on the mid-palate, without any harshness, and is brimming with ripe red cherries, cedar, black tea, and dried flowers.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

About the wine:

This remarkable wine opens with a blend of tart red and blue berries, rose, and sweet, savory spices that evolve into more savory and earthy notes. The palate is refined, with cherry flavors framed by notes of tobacco and wild herbs that come together almost in unison. The finish is sublime, with vibrant acidity and fine tannins that will keep this wine vibrant for years to come.

About the wine:

The abundance of dried flowers gives it a fragrant character, with notes of berries and citrus. There are also hints of hibiscus. Full-bodied and chewy, with plenty of tannins and lively acidity. Subtle hints of plum and strawberry. Robust and well-structured. It needs time to age. Try it after 2028.

The 2019 Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata is spectacular. Aged for two years in 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, it is brimming with aromas of licorice, raspberry liqueur, crushed roses, and crushed stone. Full-bodied, with a weightless feel, fine-grained tannins, and fresh acidity, it offers a continuous arc on the mid-palate, completely smooth, and brims with ripe red cherries, cedar, black tea, and dried flowers. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2045.
