ABOUT THIS WINE
Azelia's 2019 Barolo San Rocco originates from the Serralunga d'Alba sub-region of Piedmont, Italy. It is a single-vineyard wine from the San Rocco vineyard, which is a monopole estate owned exclusively by Azelia. The Nebbiolo grapes are sourced from old vines, averaging 65 years in age, grown on steep slopes with clay and limestone soils. The winery, Azienda Agricola Azelia, is a historic, family-run estate founded in 1920 and now managed by its fifth generation, the Scavino family, who are dedicated to traditional winemaking practices.
