Francesco Rinaldi & Figli Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata 2020

A refined and site-driven Barolo from the celebrated Rocche dell'Annunziata cru in La Morra, this wine opens with aromas of rose petals, violet, red cherry, sweet spice, and mineral nuances. The palate is warm, persistent, and harmonious, offering layers of ripe red fruit, savory herbs, and earthy complexity framed by elegant tannins and vibrant acidity. Fine minerality and floral lift carry through a long, polished finish marked by remarkable finesse and balance.

Food Pairing: Braised short ribs, osso buco, truffle risotto, roasted game, and aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

The structure is remarkably firm, with tannins that provide a robust backbone to this powerful and assertive Barolo that demands attention and promises to reward patient cellaring. Drink 2026 - 2040.
