Why We're Buying
The 2015 Roberto Voerzio Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata is the realization of Voerzio’s three winemaking tenants. First, idyllic location. Great wine is impossible without great terroir. Second, natural farming. Voerzio only uses sustainable harvesting techniques in his vineyards. Third, meticulous maintenance. Any fruit that doesn’t meet Voerzio’s expectations goes unused. These tenants come together to produce a red “built like a little tank, or motor, that keeps moving forward no matter what,” in the words of wine critic Monica Larner. The robust body of 2015 Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata features black cherries, currants, tobacco, licorice, and spice, along with a sterling finish. Here’s the remarkable part. As muscular as the structure is, the Barolo has a silky texture and gentle softness, something that investors won’t find in Voerzio’s Fossati or Cerequio. The Final Sip: The sky's the limit for this masterfully crafted Barolo that fuses a robust body with silkiness and approachability.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is laced with the essence of crushed raspberry, flowers, cedar, spice and tobacco. Silky and lifted in the glass, with a real sense of translucent beauty, the 2015 hits all the right notes. It’s a super classic Barolo from one of La Morra's greatest sites.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Perhaps the most robust and solid of the three wines by Roberto Voerzio tasted this year, the 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is built like a little tank, or motor, that keeps moving forward no matter what. You taste that spirit and determination thanks to the elegantly aligned fruit and spice flavors that make up the wine's elaborate profile. However, I also taste the 2015 vintage characteristics of rich and concentrated fruit to a greater degree in the Rocche dell'Annunziata. There is a point of softness here that you don't get in Fossati or Cerequio. I tasted the open bottle again 24 hours later and was treated to beautiful notes of mint and balsam herb.
Jeb Dunnuck
Similar notes of mulled black cherries, menthol, toasted spices, tobacco, and licorice emerge from the 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata. It has the ripe, sexy style of the vintage, medium to full-bodied richness, an elegant, seamless texture, and a great finish. There are plenty of tannins here, yet they're sweet and polished, and this beauty already offers pleasure. Nevertheless, it's going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and should have three decades of overall longevity.
