The 2013 Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata is another alluring wine from Trediberri. Pliant, rich and totally seductive, the 2013 hits all the right notes. The interplay of fruit, aromatics and structure is simply captivating. Succulent dark cherry, mint, anise, underbrush and tobacco are all finely knit in this pretty midweight Barolo.

Pale brick-garnet. Complex, dried red fruit, balsamic-vinegar touches, spice, fresh earth and dark chocolate that's showing early development. Firm, chalky tannins that are still fairly primary, with enough density of palate flavour to carry them. Long. (TJ)

La Morra. Sweet, come-hither nose. Easy. Tannins much more compensated for by fruit than in many others in this line-up. Very slightly simple. (JR)

La Morra. Tasted blind. Concentrated ruby with bright orange tinges. A little candied and singed on the nose but not without depth. A touch candied on the palate, too, and perhaps could be a little fresher in spite of the generous dose of acidity. Ends a little hard because of that. (WS)
