Renato Corino – Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata – 2020

Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata comes from the vineyard of the same name, considered one of the best in the La Morra area, a natural amphitheater totally facing south where the nebbiolo vines enjoy perfect exposure giving fruit to perfect, ripe and harmonious wines. Thanks to the sand-rich soils, the barolos enjoy a distinct elegance and broader aromas of red fruit, violets with light menthol notes and black pepper. In this case we find plants with an average age of 55 years, where production is about 3,000 bottles. As for the winemaking style, the winery has always had a more modern vision, where the wine has carried out the alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks for a week, while the malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels, and then aging for 24 months in medium-capacity wooden barrels and 2 years in bottles.

Description

The Renato Corino winery was founded in 2005 in La Morra, thanks to Renato, who after 20 years of experience working in his father Giovanni’s winery, decided to break away from the family project and create his own reality. Renato together with his two sons Stefano and Chiara cultivate 8 hectares, mainly nebbiolo for Barolo, but not forgetting Barbera and dolcetto. Among other things, the winery owns three wonderful vineyards, recognized as some of the highest quality in the Barolo area: Rocche dell’Annunziata and Arborina famous for giving elegance, structure and intense aromas to Barolos and the Vigna Pozzo dell’Annunziata, also located in the Annunziata hamlet of La Morra and enjoying a privileged position, famous for Barbera, one of the best in the area. The winery’s style is slightly modern: fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels and aging in barriques, despite which the wines are very balanced and unobtrusive from the barrel, indeed the freshness of La Morra’s lean soils prevails.
