"Creamy, ample and inviting, the 2013 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is absolutely stellar. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, plum and spice are some of the notes that are pushed forward. Although naturally quite young, the Rocche captures the essence of the raciness that make the Barolos of La Morra's Annunziata district so alluring. Moreover, the 2013 Rocche is a wine that shows Andrea Oberto's style at its best.

In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
