Tasting notes
From producer Luigi Scavino, the Azelia 2020 Barolo San Rocco draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. This wine delivers a territorial signature to the mix with hints of ferrous earth and iron ore. To that, I would add orange peel and cooked cherry. The charming bouquet does a good job of enticing your interest, but like some of the other wines from this vintage, the mouthfeel is leaner and shorter than average. Production is 7,100 bottles.

Serralunga d’Alba. 75-year-old vines. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Deep and a little tingling on the nose. Impressive concentration without seeming rich. Great depth on the palate while remaining strikingly elegant. Great balance and with polished tannins that build up on the finish. (WS)
The 2020 Barolo San Rocco is one of the most complete wines in this range. Aromatic and vibrant, with lively acids, the 2020 has plenty to offer. Readers will find a medium-bodied, elegant Barolo that is quite appealing in the early going.
