2019 Barolo, del Comune di La Morra, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

A late harvest in La Morra has yielded beautiful results for the Barolo Comune Di La Morra, a blend of the two Marcarini cru. Manuel gave this a short maceration of just 10 days, which compared to his other Barolo, has kept the fruit pure and the tannins fresh. After two years in botti, this is a pleasing and sweetly-scented wine. The palate has a charming core of fruit and dried floral details. This is on the softer side of 2019, yet there is a nod to the powerful terroir from which it hails.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 91/100
The 2019 Barolo del Comune di La Morra is an attractive, entry-level Barolo that will drink well right out of the gate. Sweet dried cherry, spice, cedar, pipe tobacco, mint and orange zest lend notable aromatic presence to this understated, classy Barolo from Marcarini. Drink it over the next handful of years. This is a very pretty 2019Drink 2023-2031antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2022)

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.
