From a single plot in Rocche dell'Annunziata, this Barolo ages for 18 months in big oak vessels. On the nose there's a smoky-graphite character with intoxicating mint and violet scents, some milkiness in depth and a lot of delicacy. Refined, polished tannins dominate the palate, with integrated oak, red currants, brilliant acidity and a bright fruit finish. A slightly modern Barolo, but classic Annunziata. One for the long haul due to the freshness and the elegance of the tannins.
Rocche dell'Annunziata Near the end of the ‘30s, after the death of Riccardo Costamagna, his wife Maddalena understood, with great foresight, the value of the family vineyards in La Morra, and in particular those planted in Rocche dell’Annunziata. She passed this great heritage down to her children and grandchildren who are still cultivating and vinifying these same lands today.
