De wijn heeft een intense granaatkleur en een verfijnde geur van wilde bessen, violet, bosstruik, aarde en mineralen. In de mond is de wijn warm, omhullend en complex met rijp fruit en fluweelzachte tannines. De druiven komen van de San Rocco wijngaard en worden met de hand geplukt. De vergisting gebeurt in stalen vaten en de rijping in barriques voor 24 maanden. De wijn wordt niet gefilterd en blijft nog minimaal 12 maanden in de kelders van het domein.

Lemon blossom with cherry and sliced strawberry aromas that follow through to a medium body, with firm and lightly austere tannins and a bright finish. Cedar and orange peel to the fruit. Needs time to soften. Better after 2027.

San Rocco is a small MGA located on the northern side of Serralunga d'Alba with steep slopes that open toward Cerretta with clay and limestone. The 2019 Barolo San Rocco (with 7,300 bottles made) benefits from tighter space and a protected microclimate to produce powerful wines. However, this vintage certainly needs more time in bottle and is nowhere near expressing its full potential now. The bouquet is rigid and unyielding at this time. This is a characteristic of San Rocco.
I tasted six Barolos from Luigi Scavino's Azelia: five from 2019 and a Riserva from 2013. The Riserva is a special wine that sees an outstanding five years of aging in oak casks and another five years in bottle before its commercial release. The vines range from 95 to 120 years old.
