AZELIA BAROLO SAN ROCCO is a distinguished red wine from the Piedmont region of Italy, known for its complex flavor profile featuring notes of dark cherry, rose petals, and earthy undertones. Its tannins are well-structured, offering a robust yet refined character typical of Barolo wines, making it an exceptional representative of its terroir.
This wine pairs excellently with rich dishes such as risotto with mushrooms, braised meats, and aged cheeses. It is also a delightful companion to truffle-based dishes, enhancing the indulgent flavors.
From producer Luigi Scavino, the Azelia 2020 Barolo San Rocco draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. This wine delivers a territorial signature to the mix with hints of ferrous earth and iron ore. To that, I would add orange peel and cooked cherry. The charming bouquet does a good job of enticing your interest, but like some of the other wines from this vintage, the mouthfeel is leaner and shorter than average. Production is 7,100 bottles.
The 2020 Barolo San Rocco is one of the most complete wines in this range. Aromatic and vibrant, with lively acids, the 2020 has plenty to offer. Readers will find a medium-bodied, elegant Barolo that is quite appealing in the early going.
