It appears ruby red with a light garnet edge. The nose is intense with floral notes reminiscent of rosebuds and geranium. The fruity scents are equally present and interesting, such as dehydrated raspberry, black cherry and a light spicy note of cinnamon and cardamom. Elegant and fresh on the palate, it presents dry but elegant tannins. Persistent wine with clear hints of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry.
Vinified with Nebbiolo grapes from several small vineyards, it is aged for 18 months in oak barrels. An elegant and soft Barolo, characterized by floral and fruity aromas of rose
and plum. On the palate the tannins balance perfectly with the fruit, revealing notes of raspberry and cherry.

Since 1841, generations of the Costamagna family have dedicated their lives to Barolo production. The long story began in the XIX century with Francesco Costamagna, carried on in the 1960s by Claudia Ferraresi and Giorgio Locatelli, and for the last 30 years by their son Alessandro. Based in La Morra, Rocche dell’Annunziata: Rocche Costamagna consists of 14 hectares of vineyards owned by the family for generations, with 5 of those hectares in the sub-zone named Rocche dell’Annunziata, one of the renowned Barolo Crus.
