Marcarini Barolo del comune di La Morra 2019

Marcarini is owned and run by Manuel Marchetti and his three children Andrea, Elisa, and Chiara, who work as a team to carry on the winemaking traditions began by their mother Luisa. The winery was originally founded by Luisa’s great-great-great-grandfather in the 1850s and in fact today, the three siblings represent the sixth generation. It is located in the heart of La Morra, a quaint hilltop village with a tiny population of 2,758. The building that houses the winery goes back to the 1700s and its cool, underground cellars provide for an ideal environment for classic élevage. Indeed, classic is a keyword in the Marcarini philosophy, which combines tradition and modernity. 

Their range of Langhe classics is exquisite with its embracing style, superb longevity and that blockbuster structure Piedmont is famous for. Marcarini was among the very first in the Langhe area to designate single vineyards on its labels – as early as the 1950s. In fact, Boschi di Berri, one of its outstanding, historic vineyards is over 150 years old and planted with rare, pre- Phylloxera Dolcetto vines. All their vineyards are estate-owned, and their names alone speak volumes: “Brunate” and “La Serra” in La Morra; and “Sargentin” in Neviglie, the quintessence of Moscato country.

Aged in large, neutral barrels for 24 months. Further bottle aging for 6 months.

"Perfumed and fresh on the nose with strawberry and cedar aromas as well as some lavender. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a bright finish. Delicate yet firm." - 93 Points, James Suckling

"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 2019." - 91 Points, Vinous
