"The vineyard of Rocche dell'Annunziata is historically considered one of the most important of the all Barolo area. It's located at around 300 slm with a south-west exposure and the size is around 1.50 ha. The typical blue marl soil with some layers of sand gives an incredible elegance and deep and persistent bouquet of roses and licorice.
A delicate and persistent bouquet with traces of licorice, rose and tobacco. Full flavored, warm and moderately tannic. A great wine for important dishes, red meats on the spit or grilled, game, "grande cuisine" white and red meat dishes and aged cheeses." - Renato Ratti
"Rocche dell’Annunziata is a highly prestigious vineyard that Renato Ratti classified as a first growth and is part of the historical territory once known as Marcenasco. It is located in the La Morra subzone of the Langhe. The Rocche is aged mainly in barrique (225L) for a more opulent style of Barolo." - Distributor
