man git-describe:
DESCRIPTION
The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a
commit.
[...]
By default (without --all or --tags) git describe only shows
annotated tags. For more information about creating annotated
tags see the -a and -s options to git-tag(1).
If there is no such tag, it refuses to work. Annotate your tags, or
try --always.
