Rocche dell’Annunziata is one of the best cru sites of the La Morra fraction. This wine is aged in large oak casks (instead of smaller oak barrique) to emphasize the natural beauty of the fruit. You’ll get aromas of forest berries, dark cola and chopped mint. The mouthfeel is tonic, fresh and very long-lasting.

Bursting with fresh berry aromas, espresso and dark chocolate, this is a rich, opulent Barbera that would pair beautifully with egg pasta or quiche Lorraine thanks to the naturally bright acidity. The finish is characterized by bright cherry and blackberry flavors.

Coffee, toasted hazelnut, espresso bean and vanilla ride in the forefront of black fruit and cherry. This is a bold, big and modern Barbera d’Alba with ripe fruit tones and soft wood nuances that help dull the grape’s natural acidity.

Alessandro Locatelli represents the newest generation to carry forth the activities of this historic winery with roots spanning back to 1841. This wine is named after the estate’s founder, Francesco Costamagna, and shows a very traditional and ethereal side to Nebbiolo. The aromas are feminine and delicate with small berries and shadings of sweet spice and herbs.

Subtle tones of chocolate and spice round off the nose of this bright Dolcetto. You’ll also get fresh fruit notes of blueberry and raspberry at the back. The wine is rich, dense and slightly sweet at the very end.

Nebbiolo Roccardo is a thin, light and focused wine with defined aromas of forest fruit and bramble and a sharp, crisp close. Pair this wine with ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese and served with melted butter.
