Description and technical sheet
Barolo Vigneto Rocchette 2005 by Lorenzo Accomasso comes from La Morra, in the heart of Barolo, from Nebbiolo grown in the Rocche dell’Annunziata area. It reflects the identity of a very small producer who has remained firmly attached to a traditional approach built on long timeframes and close work in the vineyard.
La Morra, Rocchette and an uncompromising tradition
Lorenzo Accomasso farms just over three hectares across the Rocche dell’Annunziata and Annunziata MGAs. The Rocchette vineyard lies in La Morra at around 300 metres above sea level with a southerly exposure. Winemaking follows a classic path, with long macerations, ageing in large casks and unhurried timing; the wines are typically bottled later than is customary in the area.
The character of the 2005 vintage
2005 is remembered as a cool, classically styled vintage. Tasting notes highlight redcurrant, pepper and blood orange, together with a mineral, savoury streak. The palate retains freshness and depth, with tannins that remain present without becoming harsh, underlining the wine’s impressive ability to age.
Why we recommend it
This is a fine wine for those looking for Barolo in a distinctly traditional style: an older and increasingly rare vintage from a cult producer in La Morra. Its appeal lies in tension, complexity and the slow evolution that defines mature Nebbiolo.
