Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva other_regions_australia An overtly floral nose featuresEnrico Scavinos 1990 Barolo Riserva Rocche dellAnnunziata (magnum), here in its first vintage, is a great example of the modern school of Barolo. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red berries, crushed flowers and sweet spices.
