Azelia San Rocco Barolo 2014

The 2014 Barolo San Rocco is very expressive of the Serralunga d’Alba township that always shows darker and denser fruit characteristics compared to the other main growing areas of Barolo. This wine is aged in barrique for two years, of which only 10% is new oak. Your senses are treated to very attractive layers of dark fruit, spice, wet earth and grilled herb. The vines are 60 years old on average and show extra density and concentration as a result. It follows that the mouthfeel is proportionally denser and more structured as well. Drink date: 2020-2035. Score – 93. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, June 29, 2018)
