Wine Spectator
A mix of cherry, menthol, tar and aromatic herbs, this red is rich and intense, with a solid base of tannins. Licorice, mineral and spice notes come into play as this expands on the tightly wound, almost chewy finish. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2018 through 2035.

Decanter
Fresh aromas of juicy ripe fruit with hints of mint and sage. Fresh, ripe and sweet palate with plum and black cherry flavours. Approachable now, yet to reach its peak and will keep.

James Suckling
Fantastic aromas of tangerines, plums and hints of rose petal. Full body, with velvety tannins and a pretty dried fruit and spicy finish. Lots of toasted oak too but it all comes together in a juicy, fruity way. Shows pretty tannin tension too.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata shows a subdued personality that builds in momentum as the wine warms in the glass. There’s a strong berry theme here that recalls creme de cassis or dried raspberry at the front of the bouquet. Close behind are oak-driven tones of spice, leather and tobacco. The wine bursts forward with youthful intensity and needs more time to start its natural evolution. Drink: 2018-2027.

Wine
Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, buttressed by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies a precious jewel from the 15th century: the Abbey of Annunziata.
As the monks historically produced wine from the grapes of the surrounding hillsides, today, remembering their lessons, incomparable wines are produced.
From the 100 acres of vineyards, the Renato Ratti winery produces around 150,000 bottles from the traditional denominations of the area: Barolo, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba.
The modern and innovative philosophy of vinification introduced since the 60's by Renato Ratti, is today in the hands of his son Pietro and his nephew Massimo Martinelli.
