2015 Barolo, La Serra, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This was bottled last July, like the commune wine above. The stricter fruit selection has reduced volumes from around 20,000 bottles to 8,000 this year, but the sensory uplift is palpable. It offers floral notes and an interesting balsam aroma, with a very good grip on the palate. It’s unsurprisingly tight on the palate now, but the finish is sweetly poised. Drink 2024-2040.

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.
