Red
San Rocco
By Azelia, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A fleshy, focused Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba, from 70-year-old vines.
Tasting notes
Licorice, spices and dark fruits, with cherry, currant and blueberry. Velvety and sweetly ripe with well integrated tannins; great power, austerity and ageing potential.
