When initially opened, it was tight and I was hit in the face with tannin and acidity; obviously too young, decanted 1.5 hours and opened with aromas of licorice, anise, dried red flowers, tar, red berries. Palate evolved over 2.5 hours. Licorice, dried strawberry, forest floor, cranberry; still high acidity and tannin. Excellent wine, and has that sweet fruit profile absent of any residual sugar, which is always fascinating to me; blows lots of 60 dollar Barolo and barbaresco out of the water; I would let rest until at least 2027, and at that point I would expect a stunner. @Lyle Fass — a month ago

One of the few rose wines I adore. 100% Nebbiolo from Valtellina. Nose is light but vivid cherry and some tobacco and tar. Gorgeous clarity. So much energy and precision and so so juicy. What a wine. Amazing length. Now after air the fruit is sweeter and the nose is so floral. This is elite. 9.3 to 9.4 — 8 months ago

Located halfway up the hill dominating principal valley of Barolo, lined by vineyards, lies a precious 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Medium Ruby with complex aromas of berry fruits, oak and fresh floral scents. On the palate dried tart cherry, tobacco, licorice, espresso and fresh herbs give this full-body wine grace and elegance. Soft fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and earthy notes, well balanced, has have room to run over the next decade. Very Nice! — 2 months ago

Very nice medium body. Not as bold as a good cab. Finish was a little dry, but who can go wrong with a Barolo. — 7 months ago
