1996 | Marcarini | Brunate

The flavor calls to mind the sunshine of the Langhe hills; the bouquet is reminiscent of spice, tobacco, cinnamon and ripe fruit, with undertones of very fine wood. Color is garnet red, lively and intense, with slightly orange hues, but it is on the palate this wine fully reveals its magnitude, character and complexity: velvety, round, with soft tannins, well balanced components and remarkable persistence, it confirms the bouquets subtly spicy vein, with notes of liquorice and vanilla.

Producer Information

Marcarini is an Italian wine producer in the northwestern wine-producing region of Piedmont, known for its Barolo and Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba labels. Indeed, the estate specializes in producing wines from a range of native grape varieties, spanning Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Arneis and Moscato Bianco. The Marcarini estate comprises 25 hectares (62 acres) of vineyard, spanning both the Langhe and Roero wine districts. One of the most renowned of these is the 4.5-hectare (11-acre) Brunate vineyard that was established in the 14th Century. The vineyard is planted to Nebbiolo vines that occupy south- to southwest-facing slopes at altitudes of approximately 300m (1000ft) above sea level. The grapes cultivated at the Brunate plot are the source of the estate's single-vineyard Barolo Brunate wine, a traditionally made Barolo wine that spends approximately two years in oak barrel. Marcarini makes two more Barolo wines: another single-vineyard Barolo wine from its 4-ha (10-acre) La Serra vineyard and a Barolo Chinato.
