Rocche dell'Annunziata
By Francesco Rinaldi & Figli, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Single-vineyard Barolo from the family's Rocche dell'Annunziata holding in La Morra, owned since the 1960s. Until the 2017 vintage its fruit went into the estate's blended Barolo; from the 2018 vintage it has been bottled on its own.
Tasting notes
Warm, persistent and harmonious on the palate, with ethereal aromas of rose and violet, sweet spice notes, good minerality and elegant tannins.
