Azelia Barolo San Rocco

San Rocco comes from a 2.1-hectare vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, at about 320 metres above sea level, where the Nebbiolo vines average 70 years. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts runs for 30 to 35 days with a submerged cap, followed by 24 months in large casks. The wine is fleshy and tightly focused, with liquorice, spice and dark fruit opening into cherry, currant and blueberry. The tannins are velvety and sweetly ripe, fully integrated into the wine. It has the power and austerity of the Serralunga style and the potential to age for many years. Pair it with rich braises, game or a well-aged cheese. Briffa Wine Selections brings this Barolo to Malta, with delivery across the island.
