Rocche Costamagna Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata 2020

93 POINTS

James Suckling

A graceful Barolo full of sweet violets, red cherries, pomegranate and cinnamon spices. The delicacy is also on the palate, with refreshing acidity, firm yet ripe tannins and a yellow fruit character. Medium-bodied and a bit less concentrated than expected. It has long cellaring potential.

Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of warmed spices and strawberry compote define this nose of this Barolo. Inviting scents of rose usher you deeper into the glass. On the palate, ripe cherries, cherry preserves, and cherry compote take the lead, enveloped by the comforting flavors of anise, clove and whole pepper. The wine's structure is firm and well-defined, providing a solid foundation from which the wine will develop over time. Drink 2026 - 2045

Falstaff

Bright ruby red colour with a brightening rim. Initially somewhat restrained on the nose, then fine nuances of morello cherries and cranberries, accompanied by slightly herbal notes and leather. Initially fruity on the palate, with fine acidity and harmonious balance as it progresses, grippy tannins and good length.
