The 2019 Rocche Costamagna Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Half Bottle (375ml) is an elegant and expressive Nebbiolo from one of La Morra’s most celebrated crus. Sourced from the prestigious Rocche dell’Annunziata vineyard, this vintage highlights the balance and precision of a classic Barolo year. The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing red cherry, raspberry and rose petals, layered with hints of violet, spice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, structured tannins and bright acidity. Juicy red fruit, floral notes and savoury nuances are beautifully integrated, leading to a long, refined and mineral-driven finish. The style is poised and approachable for Barolo, yet still capable of further development.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great option for those wanting to explore a top cru Barolo without committing to a full bottle. It’s more accessible in youth but still benefits from decanting. Drink now or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with roast meats, mushroom dishes, pasta with truffle or aged cheeses.
