Lorenzo Accomasso, Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata, 2012
Rocche dell'Annunziata is one of La Morra's most celebrated single crus, a steep, marl-rich slope that gives Barolo its most perfumed, ethereal expression. Lorenzo Accomasso's parcels here were the heart of his estate, and the 2012 vintage was the first of a now-legendary cool trio (2012, 2013, 2014) that produced classical Barolos of finesse and tension rather than power. Made the way Lorenzo always made wine — fifty-plus-day concrete macerations, years in old Slavonian botti, no fining or filtration — this is a structured, perfumed, traditional Barolo with the kind of nervy precision the vintage is famous for. With Lorenzo gone, these are wines to hold onto.
