Description

2017 Barolo, Rocche dell'Annunziata, Trediberri, Piedmont, ItalyOn this Grand Cru site, Nicolas vines sit between Voerzio and Bartolo Mascarello. This was the earliest harvest in memory; fermentation was shorter, and the wine saw just 18 months in Garbellotto botti before returning to cement. Wildflowers, blood orange and herbs lead into a detailed palate, initially sweet scented but with pithy, mineral focus and fine, chewy tannins. Drink 2025 2040.
