#48 Kerin O'Keefe Top 100 Italian Wines of 2023

Showing tremendous class, focus and finesse, the luminous 2019 Rocche dell’Annunziata from Trediberri offers enticing scents of pressed rose, forest floor, crushed mint and red berry. Full of energy and well structured, the palate boasts an almost laser-like precision, delivering a core of juicy red cherry and cranberry accented with black tea and licorice notes. Firm, refined tannins and bright acidity provide age-worthy support. A stunning wine. Drink 2028–2049. Abv: 14.5%-Kerin O’Keefe

Spicy and elegant, the 2019 Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata is laced with notes of incense, fresh earth, and ripe cherry. Linear and driving, it has a gripping structure, with lasting Asian spices, wild berries, and tea leaf. It is an outstanding wine to hold another couple of years and drink 2025-2045.-Jeb Dunnuck 

The 2019 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is the best wine I have tasted yet from Nicola and Stefania Oberto. The biggest change here in recent years is the elimination of small oak in favor of casks, a move that really allows the full character of Rocche dell'Annunziata to come through. Dark cherry, kirsch, hard candy, rose petal and mint are all amplified in this gorgeous, translucent Barolo. A range of perfumed, floral accents lifts the intensely aromatic finish.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Notes of spiced cherries, dark spices, nut shell and undergrowth. It’s juicy and mouthwatering yet has a steady, vertical tannin structure, very polished and fine. Medium body. A little chewy at the end. Try after 2026.-James Suckling
