By Abbona, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy

Abbona Marcarini

A single-vineyard Barbaresco from the Treiso cru, first produced in the 2021 vintage in a run of about 3,000 bottles, with an important structure and enveloping, ripe tannins.

Tasting notes

Ruby red with garnet reflections; an important structure is already noticeable on the nose, with intense small red fruit mixed with hints of underbrush and balsamic herbs, and a powerful, persistent palate with enveloping, ripe tannins.
