The 2007 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata/Torriglione is one of the more reserved wines in this line-up. Stylistically it is a touch leaner and more focused than the rest of Voerzio's 2007s. Fragrant dark cherries minerals mint pine and spices emerge gracefully from the Rocche. The finish is long polished and exceptionally elegant even if the Rocche doesn't quite reach the level of the finest wines here. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. -AG

Pure, round and packed with sweet cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors, this Barolo is elegant and vibrant, featuring an almost seamless texture until dusty tannins show up on the finish. Nonetheless, the wine is integrated, picking up spice and tobacco nuances on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2028. 416 cases made. –BS
