The service has always been perfect. Our wine arrives quickly and the UPS man calls me to come down and sign for it. I can only get this wine from one supplier in Florida and they always do a perfect job of making available to me.

Sadly, UPS damaged my shipment of the last bottles of Banyuls wine in B‑21 inventory. The message I received was that the unbroken bottles of my order was being returned to sender (B‑21). I was beyond bummed! B‑21's customer service was extraordinary. In order to arrange for a replacement shipment to be sent, they had to replenish their stock. Within a few hours, I got a message saying the wine was ordered, and confirmed that I'd receive an email when the order was shipped. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend B‑21 for their selection and service. Thanks so much for going above and beyond.

I love this wine! It was delivered promptly and very nicely packed. The only thing is the carrier left it at the main building and not to the address I specified. I guess next time I will add a phone number for the carrier to call me. Love this Sangria!!

The folks at B‑21 turn orders quickly and the$24/case shipping cost is reasonable. My shipment arrived with one broken bottle that apparently was empty when it was packed, as there was no evidence of wine in any dividers, the bottles in the case, or the case itself. The cork was still in the bottle. It was disappointing to lose a bottle of my wife's favorite wine, and they refunded the price of the bottle without delay. It was unfortunate that this happened, but hard to understand how an empty bottle could have been put in the case. I am satisfied with their response and hope to continue doing business with them.

2016 Andrea Oberto Rocche dell'Annunziata (750ml)

Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Widely acclaimed as one of the best vintages in 25 years, the breathtaking 2016 Barolo vintage “lives up to the hype” according to the Wine Enthusiast's Kerin O'Keefe, producing elegantly structured Nebbiolo wines with great richness and long-lived tannins. Taking advantage of our long-standing relationships in Piedmont, Barolo fans and collectors of bold Italian reds will want to secure a share of these highly rated, value priced 2016 Baroli, selecting a few favorites or mixing a case or two and reaping the benefits for years to come.

From perhaps the finest ‘garagiste’ in Piedmont, Mario Marengo’s long-lived 95 pt. 2016 Marengo Barolo offers “beautifully pure and brilliant fruit” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, calling it a “graceful expression” of Barolo worth seeking out. Vinous critic Antonio Galloni describes the elegant 93 pt. 2016 Prunotto as an “airy, finessed Barolo” crafted to enjoy now, while critic James Suckling calls the dazzling old vine 97 pt. 2016 Domenico Clerico Ciabot Mentin “very powerful with intensely rich tannins that show polish and strength” and Monica Larner describes the silky 96 pt. 2016 Elvio Cogno Barolo Cascina Nuova as “a terrific go-to Barolo” with “impeccable balance.” Called “one of the best Barolos I have tasted from Rocche Costamagna” by critic Galloni, the ready to enjoy 95 pt. 2016 Rocche Costamagna Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata “shows just how appealing this vintage is.” Among the smallest production gems in this selection, the outstanding 95 pt. 2016 Enzo Boglietti Brunate and 95 pt. 2016 Andrea Oberto Rocche dell'Annunziata are both richly structured, superlative Nebbiolos poised to reward patient cellaring priced at a fraction of higher profile producers. A pair of excellent wines from Luigi Baudana, the 95 pt. 2016 Barolo Baudana offers a bigger, lush fruit profile according to Monica Larner, while the 96 pt. 2016 Barolo Cerretta boasts the Cru’s signature minerality, both just approaching their decades’ long drinking windows. A powerful, long-lived Barolo that delivers exceptional value, the 98 pt. 2016 Damilano Barolo Cannubi “boasts muscular, imposing structure and power” according to critic James Suckling, and the artisan-crafted 94 pt. 2016 Elio Altare Barolo is “positively stunning” and ready to enjoy over the next decade. From a favorite B-21 producer, the profound 96 pt. 2016 Massolino Barolo Parussi is sourced from Castiglione Falletto, capturing all its “sensuality” according to critic Galloni and “firmly structured,” for over two decades of enjoyment according to the Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe. Owned by Luigi Scavino, cousin to Enrico Scavino of the more famous Paolo Scavino winery, critic Galloni describes Azelia’s Barolos as “spectacular,” both selections crafted from old vines, the elegant 95 pt. 2016 Margheria “showing the natural weight and gravitas of Serralunga” while the 94 pt. 2016 San Rocco is “deep, powerful and loaded with pedigree.” Finally, described as “positively stellar” and “captivating” by Galloni, the 97 pt. 2016 Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Enrico VI is “full and complex with a gorgeous palate” according to James Suckling, already offering a glimpse of its bright future ahead.

From a top-rated vintage hailed by critics across the board, the 2016 Baroli are “truly spectacular, breathtaking wines” according to Vinous critic Antonio Galloni, describing them as capturing “all the pedigree that Nebbiolo and Barolo are capable of.” While each of these selections reflects their unique terroirs, these 2016 Barolo all share a lush density of elegant, fresh fruit, focused savory acidity and substantial tannic structure that make them all winning choices, some ready to enjoy now but all poised to evolve over the next decades – echoing the advice of James Suckling, “buy, drink and enjoy this marvelous vintage.”

The 2016 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is the most complete (and long-term) of these wines from Andrea Oberto. This pretty vintage offers beautiful clarity and linearity with aromas of wild berry, blue flower and crushed limestone. Hints of licorice, smoke and tar also appear to round off the edges. This wine shows a profound and powerful tannic composition, although the actual fiber of the wine remains fine and compact. Fruit comes from a site that is smaller than a hectare in size and sees primarily sandy soils. It ages in barrique and botte for 26 months. Production is a mere 3,800 bottles.

95 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Jul 2020)

The 2016 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is dark and balsamic in this vintage. Black cherry, menthol, lavender, spice, pine, licorice, hard candy and dried herbs are all layered together in this super-expressive Barolo. Vivid and expansive, the 2016 offers a striking interplay of richness and detail, all in the mid-weight style of the year.
