Lorenzo Accomasso, Barolo Riserva Vigna Rocchette, 2011
Lorenzo Accomasso has spent a lifetime farming a handful of vines in La Morra and refusing, loudly and on principle, to change a single thing about how he makes wine. No new oak, no consultants, no gestures toward fashion. Just long macerations, big old casks, and bottles that get released when he decides they're ready, which is frequently years after everyone else has moved on. Production is minuscule, which has made these among the hardest bottles to find in all of Piedmont, less by design than by arithmetic. This is his Riserva from Rocchette, a 2011 with well over a decade behind it. Nebbiolo made this way trades early charm for endurance: it is savory, structural, slow to open, and it rewards a decanter and a dinner with nowhere to be.
