2022 Langhe Nebbiolo, Lasarin, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Marcarini’s Langhe Nebbiolo is again comprised of two plots, from the junior vines of Brunate, in La Serra, and the sandy soils of Neviglie in Roero. In a vintage as dry as 2022, the moisture-retaining, clay-rich soils of Brunate were of paramount importance in protecting the bright freshness and elegance in the wine. Fermentation temperatures are kept low at 25 degrees, with vinification purely in stainless steel, leading to an invigoratingly pure and primary, true Nebbiolo. Full of fresh, crushed cranberry and pomegranate, alongside black tea and gentle spicy tones. This is a wine of real substance for its stature.

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.

Langhe

Langhe

Langhe is an all-encompassing zone lying due south of Alba and the River Tanaro in the province of Cuneo. Barolo and Barbaresco both lie within its boundaries. Langhe is also the name of a regional DOC zone, which is used to classify wines made outside of the traditional Piemontese varietal scheme. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines from the region are, for example, classified as Langhe DOC.

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.
