Score 89/100 · Drink 2017-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2016

The 2012 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is the sweetest and silkiest of Ratti 2012s. Rose petal, mint, sweet red cherry and anise open up nicely. The mid-palate and finish narrow just a bit as the French oak dries out the fruit. Otherwise, this is a solid effort.

The 2012 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is more advanced in terms of its overall evolution. The bouquet offers dried cherry, plum, dark spice and tobacco. The bouquet presents moderate intensity (this lower aromatic threshold is common to many of the Barolos from this vintage), and the quality of fruit is slightly more aged and spicy as a result. Smooth tannins and firm consistency characterize the mouthfeel. This Nebbiolo offers near and medium-term drinking potential.
