Azelia, Barolo San Rocco', 2008
Two years younger on the calendar but already deeper into its window: Azelia's 2008 San Rocco comes from the same south-facing Serralunga d'Alba parcel of clay-limestone marl, the same old vines, the same Luigi Scavino hand. What 2008 brings is the classical Piedmont signature — perfumed, lifted, structured without being heavy — and at seventeen years on, the tannins have polished into something silken while the dark Serralunga fruit holds firm. Aged in Slavonian botti, then patiently. Mid-window drinking now, with a decade of evolution still in front of it. The kind of Barolo that earns the second hour at the table.
