The 2020 Rocche Costamagna Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Magnum (1500ml) is an elegant and expressive Nebbiolo from one of La Morra’s most prestigious crus, showcasing the approachability and charm of a warm yet balanced vintage. Sourced from the renowned Rocche dell’Annunziata vineyard, it highlights the finesse and aromatic lift typical of this site. The nose is perfumed and inviting, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals, layered with hints of violet, spice, licorice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity, offering a harmonious balance of ripe red fruit, floral nuances and savoury complexity. The finish is long, smooth and gently mineral, with excellent persistence. The magnum format enhances its ageing potential, allowing the wine to evolve more slowly and gain added depth over time. The style is polished and accessible, yet still structured in classic Barolo fashion.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great option for those seeking a premium Barolo for cellaring or special occasions. Enjoy with decanting in its youth or hold for 8–15+ years. Perfect with braised meats, truffle dishes, roast lamb or aged cheeses.
