Barolo Rocche scored considerably higher than Aurelio Settimo’s base Barolo this year and would make a wonderful addition to your cellar. This is a gorgeous wine with impressive intensity and penetrating aromas of balsam, chopped mint, forest berry, underbrush and white mushroom. It’s elegant and compact in the mouth with a long, firm finish. ——M.L.(12/1/2010)—— 93
