Established in the mid 1800’s, Marcarini were the first in the zone to designate single vineyards and their range of classic Piedmontese wines offer great typicity and value. The Barolo’s from La Serra (red fruits and velvety wrapped intensity) and Brunate (muscular with superb longevity) are two of La Morra’s celebrated MGA’s.
A Barolo with such intense, fine-grained tannins, yet it’s so deep and poised with polish and energy. Full-bodied, yet it remains agile and layered. Strawberries, bark, hazelnuts and hints of rose petals. Give this four or five years in the bottle, at least. But a classic wine.

La Morra is most often a horror zone for me when it comes to Barolo, fine light wines, beefed up with way too much oak. Marcarini is one of the beautiful exceptions to that.
So fine, and finely etched. Red fruits, roses, mint, almond, subtle five spice perfume. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and precise, fine brick dust and peppery tannin, quiet succulence of strawberry and other red fruits, spice and liquorice root, long cool finish. So lovely. Energy and charm. Love this wine. And there’s more to come too, I feel.
