Renato Corino – Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata – 2013

The Renato Corino farm was founded in 2005 in La Morra, thanks to Renato, who after 20 years of work experience in his father Giovanni’s cellar, decided to break away from the family project and create his own business. Renato together with his two sons Stefano and Chiara cultivate 8 hectares, mainly Nebbiolo da Barolo, but without forgetting Barbera and Dolcetto. Among other things, the winery has three wonderful vineyards, recognized among the most qualitative in the Barolo area: Rocche dell’Annunziata and Arborina, famous for giving elegance, structure and intense aromas to the Barolos and the Vigna Pozzo dell’Annunziata, also located in the hamlet Annunziata di La Morra and enjoys a privileged position, famous for Barbera, one of the best in the area. The style of the cellar is slightly modern: fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels and aging in barrique, despite this the wines are very balanced and not very invasive from the barrel, indeed the freshness of the lean soils of La Morra prevails. Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata comes from the vineyard of the same name. considered one of the best in the La Morra area. An amphitheater full south, here the Nebbioli enjoy a perfect exposure giving fruit to perfect, ripe and harmonious wines. The soils in this area are sandy, but a nice part of clay, giving Barolos both elegant but also slightly structured!
In this wine you will feel notes of ripe cherry, softness in the mouth with a great acidity.
In this 2013 vintage, you will find a complex, fresh and structured Barolo with violet and cherry aromas. Perfect to drink now but absolutely to keep. Persuasive.
