Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, supported by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry, lively spice, well balanced with savory fine tannins on a medium+ finish ending with mineral character. — 4 months ago

Bert’s June wine tasting - this has a nice flavor - unpacked and it’s a blend. The vineyard was Luigi Baidana and he sold his vineyard to this vineyard who makes borolo and makes wine the way he did rather than selling to rich folks who just wanted his property. — 3 months ago

This is a wine my wife bought me when she was not my wife.
Just a mere girlfriend. Newly minted.
It’s survived four moves and five homes.
20 seasons.
The color has definitely warmed up a bit. Flourishes of golden swirls.
Smells more like a Chardonnay than a caricante.
Notes of honey and hazelnut. Still a line of minerality throughout. Citrus and orange peel. But the fruits have lightened and turned into something more nuanced and nutty.
Beautiful and worth sitting on for 7 years and 10 years from the harvest.
