The standard-tier bottling from Lorenzo Accomasso's most prized parcel, a sub-cru within Rocche dell'Annunziata in La Morra. Lorenzo, who died in August 2025 at 91, was a true hermit-traditionalist of Barolo's old guard, working alongside his sister Elena on three precious hectares with concrete fermenters, decades-old Slavonian botti, and no concessions to fashion. Vigna Rocchette sits on medium clay with southern exposure, planted to old vines that yield tiny quantities of fragrant, structured Nebbiolo. The 2012 vintage was small and concentrated, producing wines of unusual density for La Morra. Thirteen years on, this bottling is moving from primary into its mature, perfumed phase, all rose, tar, and orange-rind savor.

"The 2012 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell’Annunziata Vigna Rocchette is a terrific wine, but it also needs to be handled with care if enjoyed on the young side. Bright, searing acids and a good deal of tannin require opening the 2012 well in advance, as in a day prior to drinking, something I rarely recommend. Hints of sweet tobacco, blood orange, mint, spice, star anise and crushed rose petal give this taut, nervy La Morra Barolo tons of character and personality. Readers who can find it should not hesitate. This is as old school as old school gets." —Antonio Galloni

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Classical Piemontese pairings: tajarin with shaved white truffle, brasato al Barolo, vitello tonnato, roasted guinea hen with mushrooms, or a board of aged Bra and Castelmagno. Decant 60-90 minutes ahead of dinner.

Tasting Profile

Rose petal, dried strawberry, tar, sweet leather, and dried herb layered over a savory mineral core. Fine-grained tannins and bright Nebbiolo acidity; concentrated 2012 fruit moving into perfumed, secondary territory.
