Lorenzo Accomasso has spent a lifetime farming a handful of vines in La Morra and refusing, loudly and on principle, to change a single thing about how he makes wine. No new oak, no consultants, no gestures toward fashion. Just long macerations, big old casks, and bottles that get released when he decides they're ready, which is frequently years after everyone else has moved on. Production is minuscule, which has made these among the hardest bottles to find in all of Piedmont, less by design than by arithmetic. This is his Riserva from Rocchette, a 2011 with well over a decade behind it. Nebbiolo made this way trades early charm for endurance: it is savory, structural, slow to open, and it rewards a decanter and a dinner with nowhere to be.

"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

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato al Barolo, braised short ribs, risotto with mushrooms or truffle, and aged Castelmagno or Parmigiano.

Tasting Profile

Savory and firmly structured, with dried cherry, rose and tar over serious tannin. Mature, but nowhere near finished. Decant.
