A Riserva from one of La Morra's last hermit traditionalists, drawn from a coveted old-vine block within Rocche dell'Annunziata. Lorenzo Accomasso, who passed in August 2025 at 91, worked alongside his sister Elena in a tiny cellar where wines aged years in 50hl Slavonian botti with no fining and barely a whisper of sulfur. Vigna Rocchette is the cru-within-the-cru: medium clay, southern exposure, ancient vines. The 2011 vintage brought warmth and depth; an additional five years of cellar aging earned the Riserva tier. Fourteen years on, this is still a young Accomasso Riserva by the estate's slow-burning standards, opening into the layered, perfumed La Morra style for which Lorenzo became legend.

"The ultimate Langa underdog, Lorenzo Accomasso, owns some of the most beautiful parcels in La Morra. His 2011 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva Vigna Rocchette is a wine of rare Nebbiolo pedigree, with vines that have benefitted from decades of Accomasso's careful and loving farming touch. Unfortunately, his wines are not always even in execution, and although I have asked to see his winery, no one is allowed inside. What mysteries befall these wines once the grapes come off those beautiful vines is anyone's guess. This vintage shows 15% alcohol registered on the label, and you feel it all. That heat is followed by ripe aromas of wild cherry and fragrant rose. The wine's texture is loosely knit, showing the characteristics of Nebbiolo from a warm vintage. The jury is out on how much longer this wine will age, although ten years sounds like a safe bet." —Monica Larner

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Built for slow Piemontese cooking: brasato al Barolo, agnolotti del plin in butter and sage, roasted guinea hen, or a board of Castelmagno and toasted hazelnuts. Decant generously.

Tasting Profile

Rose petal, dried cherry, tar, sweet tobacco, and orange peel layered over fine-grained tannins. Warm-vintage flesh balanced by classical La Morra perfume; long, savory, mineral finish.
