Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Riserva 2018 – Lorenzo Accomasso
The Rocche dell’Annunziata Riserva 2018 by Lorenzo Accomasso represents the quintessence of Langhe Nebbiolo, born in one of La Morra’s most iconic vineyards, the Annunziata cru. This legendary site produces a wine with a perfect balance of power and elegance, coming from vines approximately 40 years old, carefully cultivated with respect for the local ecosystem, resulting in healthy, concentrated grapes with rich aromatic potential.
The vineyard’s medium clay soil imparts structure and minerality, while the vinification includes extended maceration to allow a slow, harmonious aging process. The wine is matured for over five years in large wooden barrels, followed by at least 18 months in bottle, developing extraordinary aromatic complexity. In the glass, the wine shows a garnet color with orange reflections, and the nose reveals leather, tobacco, sweet spices, violet, cherry preserves, with hints of licorice and forest floor.
On the palate, the 2018 Rocche dell’Annunziata offers a broad, powerful, and textural sip, with elegant tannins that support its structure without overwhelming it. Its persistence is remarkable, evolving with each taste, revealing a Barolo Riserva of rare depth and longevity. This cru from Lorenzo Accomasso is perfect for enthusiasts of high-end Piedmont wines and those seeking a historic, prestigious Barolo to enjoy or cellar.
