The 2009 Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata opens immediately to a soft and generous expression of Nebbiolo that sees sweet layers of ripe fruit and spice layered tightly together. Bold and opulent, this full-bodied Barolo can be consumed in the next few years, or aged much longer. It gives you that choice. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
