2014 Barolo, La Serra, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

The higher evolution of the La Serra vineyard always produces feminine and Burgundian styles of Barolo. Fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks with long maceration on the skins for up to four weeks, the wine is then aged for two years in Slavonian oak followed by one year in bottle. The results from the La Serra Cru are exceptional – high-toned, intense and ethereal. With floral notes, dried leaves, violets and orange skin, the palate is firm yet velvety, with great balance and intensity. Drink now to 2040.

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Marcarini

Few views in Barolo can compete with the one from Marcarini’s terrace in La Morra. Encompassing most of the region’s communes and vineyards, one only has to look south-east to see Barolo’s modest size, cradled in the Italian Alps. It is fitting that Marcarini occupies this prime location; the winery is built underneath La Morra’s medieval watchtower, a signpost to the Marchetti family cantina that’s visible across the region.
