Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, supported by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry, lively spice, well balanced with savory fine tannins on a medium+ finish ending with mineral character.

Primary flavors: cherry and strawberry
Secondary flavors: some oak

Food pairing: I had it with pepperoni pizza and it was amazing.

Fruity and a touch sweet. Good for hot summer day.

Picked up in the store, nothing special on its own but perfectly complemented a spicy turkey chili. Continue to prefer Alba’s over Asti’s

Light body, simple aroma, sour cherry flavor, a bit bitter on its own, but sweeter and smoother when paired with a well seasoned meal. We paired it with pesto seasoned meatballs and roasted vegetables which worked well.
