"The 2019 Barolo Riserva Annuziata comes from a portion of the vineyard planted in 1971 with southwest exposure. Sporting a jeweled red color, it boasts a more contemplative and layered profile, with warming notes of ripe cherries, sage, fresh leather, cedar, and incense. It offers medium to full-bodied richness and depth, with ripe tannins, a refreshing spine of acidity, and a long-lasting finish. It continues to evolve in the glass as it opens and is going to be a more brooding wine to enjoy over the coming 15 or more years."
