Color: garnet red.A bouquet with traces of licorice and tobacco. Full flavored, full-bodied and elegant.Noble and generous, glory of old Piedmont, a wine suitable for long aging, Barolo is the absolute master of the table. It conquers the palate with the conviction of strength, harmony and fullness and holds its sway at length. Barolo Marcenasco has ancient origins. There are historical documents from the “Rigestum Comunis Albae” that bear witness to the cultivation of the Nebbiolo wine in the “Marcenascum” area already back in the 12th Century. Barolo Marcenasco is smooth, balanced, elegant and faithfully, best to drink between 6 to 12 years after the vintage. Red meats on the spit or grilled, game, “grande cuisine” white and red meat dishes and aged cheeses.

A beam of cherry and red currant courses through this racy red, revealing flashes of rose and wild herbs, with a mineral underpinning. This is persistent, with a long aftertaste that emphasizes the pure fruit. Best from 2026 through 2042. 5,833 cases made, 2,772 cases imported.

Nutty red fruit on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with a light but refined structure and a decent, savory finish. Needs a year to show its best. Drink from 2023.

The bright ruby-colored 2020 Barolo Marcenasco is fresh and lively in the glass, with peppery spices, bright red cherries, rose petals, and potpourri. Light on its feet, it’s on the leaner side of the spectrum but has a graceful and elegant stony texture, with fine tannins and a chalky finish. An easy-drinking red, it will do well served with a light chill and as a straightforward wine to enjoy over the next couple of years.
