Tasting notes

Garnet red with ruby reflections. The nose is rich, fresh and dominated by florality, with notes of violet and rose petals; the aromatic persistence is long and intense.

Estate-wide, Marcarini's vineyards are pruned to limit yield, maintained with organic composting and controlled grassing over of the rows, and vine diseases are treated with traditional methods.
Vinification
Introduced in 2015, this Barolo blends grapes from several of Marcarini's historic vineyards across the commune of La Morra, vinified together to express the character of the Tortonian soils and to give a wine that reaches its peak sooner and is approachable young.
