2020 Barolo, del Comune di La Morra, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Of the recent string of brilliant vintages (2019, ‘20 and ‘21) – the 2020 is Manuel’s pick of the bunch for the Comune di La Morra. He sees it as being more comparable to, but better than, 2016 in terms of power, and more structured than 2019. This was the Covid vintage, so Manuel and his children spent all of their time in the vineyard working it very carefully by hand. This comes from the same, prized plots as their cru wines, with the first pick making up the cru, and all of the remaining fruit being used for the Comune di La Morra. The 2020 displays an expertly crafted harmony, being sweet fruited, lifted and joyous, but also structured, with ripe tannins and driving acidity.

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.
