Rocche dell'Annunziata is definitely one of the most sought-after Geographical Mentions of La Morra. It is a fairly uniform cru, with mainly south-easterly exposure, between La Morra and the hamlet of Annunziata. Here we have a small plot of land where we grow the grapes used to make our Riserva: a broad-spectrum Barolo, in which the characteristic elegance of La Morra is accompanied by great complexity and structure.
Characteristic of the soil is the presence of crushed stone (hence the name “Rocche”) which effectively drains water. The Rocche deliver Barolo with soft tannins, more concentrated wines with intensely fruity scents, always balanced and elegant.
Variety: 100% Nebbiolo
Age of vineyards: planted in the 1980s
Vine training system: Guyot
Vinification: the vinification of Rocche dell’Annunziata underwent a maceration with the skins in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for 20 days. During this period there was a delicate extraction accompanied by daily pumping over. After racking, the malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine was placed in barrique, 30% new and 70% second and third passage, where it rested for a total of 24 months. After decanting in stainless steel tanks, the wine was bottled for additional aging of over two and a half years.
Color: intense ruby red with garnet hues
Aroma: penetrating, captivating, and highly aromatic with classic notes of red fruit and hints of freshly cut flowers, hay, and sweet spices
Flavor: austere and noble, with great vigor, fullness, savoriness, and minerality. The excellent terroir and particular microclimate create a unique complexity.
Serving temperature: 16°-18°C. It is particularly enjoyable to appreciate the evolution of its aromas as the wine slowly warms in the glass.
Evolution: decidedly austere, its smoother and sweeter notes growing time to lend this wine incredible complexity, drinkability, and certainly great longevity.
