2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #35
The San Rocco is a beautiful effort from Azelia in 2011, bursting with seductive aromas of dark cherries and red berries woven together with exotic spices, licorice, mint, leather and dried violets which all come together in this gorgeous Barolo. This possesses a beautiful firm structure backed by finely polished tannins and outstanding overall balance and precision. Everything continues to build on the pretty finish where delicious red fruits and spices linger on. The San Rocco is a complexly compelling wine that should only continue to evolve for years to come.
