Tasting notes
Voerzio's 2004 Rocche dell'Annunziata Torriglione is a jewel of a wine. Sumptuous and layered in the glass, with striking aromatics, the 2004 is a terrific example of what makes Barolos from La Morra so appealing. The open-knit, racy 2004 is super-expressive today and will drink well for another decade or more.

La Morra – not normally following Serralunga. Grapes come from a vineyard that used to supply Bartolo Mascarello. Splits difference between modernist and traditionalist. Amazing colour. Very deep. The richest, nicest, most floral compost I could imagine. Very rich start and then very dry finish. Voerzio is a manical viticulturist. He owns eight or nine crus, with tiny yields. One bottle per vine. Pretty savage for the moment. But thick and lively and very winning. Very correct. (JR)
Voerzio's 2004 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata/Torriglione is a stunning effort. It bursts from the glass with soaring aromatics that lead to a beautifully articulated core of red fruit, sweet spices and mint that is buttressed by finessed, silky tannins that caress the palate. This long, pure Barolo combines the feminine qualities of Cerequio with the structure of Brunate in a compelling, breathtaking glass of wine.
