2019 Francesco Rinaldi Rocche dell' Annunziata Barolo - PIEDMONT, ITALY. 750ml
Floral aromas of rose and violet lead the way along with notes of camphor, spice, hay and perfumed berry on Francesco Rinaldi’s stunning 2019 Rocche dell'Annunziata. Made with grapes hailing from what is La Morra’s most celebrated vineyard site and in a part of the cru that has more sand when compared to site’s higher reaches, this is all about extreme elegance and intensity, delivering juicy red cherry punctuated by baking spice, star anise and menthol before finishing on a tangy mineral note recalling saline. Taut, polished tannins provide seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and vibrant. What a beauty. Drink 2027–2039. (97) KERIN O’KEEFE
