Tasting notes
The 2010 Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata is simply gorgeous and one of the best wines ever produced by Andrea Oberto. You’ll notice that the wine now carries the full name of the vineyard cru, Rocche dell’Annunziata. In years past, this wine was the boldest in this producer’s portfolio and that fact certainly has not changed in the delicious 2010 vintage. Behind the brawn is elegance, finesse and impressive complexity. Dried cherry, cola, licorice and balsam herb give the bouquet an ever-changing quality that keeps you on your toes. Alcoholic power, acidity and structure drive the wine over the palate. Drink: 2017-2033.

La Morra. Mid ruby with orange tinges. More open knit and fruit driven on the nose than the Brunate. Multilayered. Ripe strawberry fruit with the beginning of maturation. Elegant palate weight and fine acidity turning up on the finish. The powerful finish comes as a surprise. (WS)
