2018 Barolo, Brunate, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

One of 2018’s most successful wines, Brunate stems from one of the region’s greatest vineyards thanks to its altitude, southernly exposure and complex soils. Only Manuel’s oldest vines are selected, and fruit undergoes traditional submerged cap fermentation, before spending two years in botti grande under the watchtower, and an additional year in bottle pre-release. The nose bounces with roasted fig, orange blossom and dried herb, while the palate is deep and richly flavoured. The wine was, welcomely, softened by the vintage conditions. This is ethereal, high-toned, and long.

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.
