Arnaldo Rivera Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata 2018

Rated 96 Points Wine Enthusiast

“Aromas of pressed rose, wild red berry and baking spice come to the forefront on this gorgeous red along with a whiff of menthol. The elegant, structured palate has great tension, delivering juicy red cherry, strawberry compote, licorice and tobacco alongside taut, refined tannins and bright acidity.”

Rated 95 Points Wine Spectator

"Very Pinot-like, this red exudes cherry, raspberry, rose and spice flavors, with gamy hints on the nose and palate. Though silky, this has a solid spine of dense tannins, with the eucalyptus and tar notes bringing this squarely back to Barolo territory. 

Rated 93 Points James Suckling

"Fresher red berries here, such as raspberries and goji berries, together with leafy and nutty notes. Medium-bodied with a good core of sweet fruit and firm tannins that frame the wine nicely in the mid-palate. A fresh, elegant expression of Barolo. Needs a bit of time for the tannins to smoothen and the finish to lengthen. Nicely poised. Try from 2023."
