Marcarini, Barolo Brunate other_regions_italy This is a lovely wine

This is a lovely wine of distinction balance and harmony that is built to age over the next decade or so as the underlying material is superb

Its inky black color is followed by classic notes of smoked meats

from two vineyards with stone terraces at Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos

Super-fragrant with a floral lift from the Viognier component

sometimes spicier notes that revealed just a lactic hint that denotes youth

Marcarini, Barolo Brunate other_regions_italy This is a lovely wineMarcarini's 2004 Barolo Brunate has aged well, but it hasn't really blossomed into a truly special wine, as so many Barolos from this vintage have. If opened now, the 2004 needs a few hours of air for the tannins to soften. The lifted, slightly fleeting, ethereal finish is classic La Serra. Antonio Galloni
