Azelia San Rocco Barolo Nebbiolo 2011
The first vineyard purchased in Serralunga d'Alba. This Cru fully represents Luigi's love for this village. The vineyard stands on a hill in front of the homonymous church of San Rocco. The clay present in this soil gives the mouth feel of the wine an intenseenergy. For this reason Serralunga d'Alba is called 'il corazziere' (cuirassier, a very skillful and powerful soldier) of the Langhe region. Pertinent to the charactericstic of the terroir, the wine gives an impression of great power, austerity, with an incredible aging potential. The San Rocco presents as velvety and sweetly ripe, with splendidly integrated tannins.

What a great wine! Superb structure, fine tannin. Pretty flowers, herbs and liquorice. Long flavours and perfect acid balance. This is worth the find

This is one if those wines that I wish I had discovered a long time ago. The San Rocco has become one of my favorite Azelia Barolos, with an intense and dark bouquet, showing rich black cherry, savory spices, sweet-dark floral tones and leather. On the palate, this was all about balanced intensity, as a mix of silky textures were contrasted by sweet tannin and brisk acidity; yet a core of concentrated fruit prevailed with strawberry, cherry and plum. Sweet tannin lingered on the finish along with dark fruits and lasting minerality. # Azelia #Barolo

Lots of meat left on this bone. Black cherry, leather, soft incense.
