Tasting notes
La Morra. Tasted blind. Deep ruby. A little savoury but otherwise closed on the palate. Sweet and tangy palate with slow-to-emerge depth and a touch of fruit cake, but this doesn’t define the palate. Long and opening up slowly. A finish lined with crunchy tannins. Full but not heavy. (WS)

The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is gorgeous. Aromatic, fresh and lifted, the 2015 captures all the pedigree of this great La Morra site. The interplay of dense fruit, perfumed aromatics and silky tannins that makes wines from Rocche so compelling is very much in evidence. All the elements simply fall into place in a Barolo that is impeccable from start to finish.
Very floral and cedary aromas, layered across dried strawberries and red plums. Oak dominates the palate for now, but thereâs a very juicy core of concentrated fruit below that will unfurl in the next two to three years. Try from 2022.
