This 2017 Rocche Costamagna Barolo DOCG Roche dell'Annunziata Riserva Bricco Francesco is a true gem from Piedmont, Italy. The wine exudes an intense ruby red color, hinting at its bold and complex nature. On the nose, one is greeted with a bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, along with subtle notes of licorice, tobacco, and spices. These aromas continue to dance on the palate, where they are met with firm tannins and a full-bodied structure. The luscious fruit flavors are complemented by hints of vanilla and oak, adding depth and complexity to the wine. This vintage embodies the classic elegance and power of a Barolo, with a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. Enjoy now or cellar for even more depth and character.

Situated between Neive and the town of Barbaresco itself, Cotta beautifully combines the rich, fuller-bodied nature of Neive, with the tannic structure of Barbaresco. With a south-west exposure, it is usally the richest and roundest of the Sottimano crus, typically showing abundant red and black fruits with refined nuances of mint, leading to a palate of notable length. The tannins are there, but beautifully expressive and silky. A benchmark Barbaresco with a 15-20 year cellar life.
