The 2020 Rocche Costamagna Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Half Bottle (375ml) is a refined and approachable expression of Nebbiolo from one of La Morra’s most prestigious crus. Coming from a warm yet balanced vintage, it highlights the elegance and aromatic lift typical of Rocche dell’Annunziata. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals, complemented by hints of spice, licorice and light earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity, offering a harmonious balance of ripe red fruit, floral tones and savoury complexity. The finish is smooth, persistent and gently mineral. The style is polished and accessible in its youth, especially in half bottle format, while still retaining classic Barolo structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is perfect for those who want a premium single-vineyard Barolo in a more manageable format. It opens up earlier than a full bottle, making it ideal for near-term enjoyment with some decanting. Drink now or over the next 6–10 years. Excellent with braised meats, pasta with ragù, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
