2017 | Marchesi di Barolo | Peiragal Barbera D'Alba

This wine is ruby red in color with brilliant garnet borders. Its fresh and lively nose has distinct traces of blackcurrant, berries, toasted hazelnut and vanilla. Immediately pleasant, balanced and harmonious, the taste is elegant with soft tannins. The spicy and woody notes blend together perfectly.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The Marchesi di Barolo 2017 Barbera d'Alba Peiragal opens to a dark and inky, rich appearance followed by plummy fruit, dried blackberry and blackcurrant. The wine is frank, easy-drinking and thick in fruity fiber and richness. This wine definitely flaunts the heat and excessive nature of the vintage that works so well with the Barbera grape.

• James Suckling: Blueberry and chocolate aromas follow through to a full body with juicy fruit and hints of orange peel. Delicious, as always.

Producer Information

Marchesi di Barolo is an Italian wine estate in Piedmont, particularly known for its single-vineyard and riserva wines from the Nebbiolo grape. The historic estate often releases older vintages demonstrating the ageworthiness of the wines.The estate controls around 120 hectares (297 acres) of vineyards and makes a wide portfolio of wines from all of the principal varieties of the region. Unsurprisingly, Barolo forms the heart of the range. The flagship single-vineyard wine is the Barolo Cannubi, from a large holding in the famous vineyard.The Barolo Riserva is made from various parcels vinified separately then blended after aging. Winemaking combines the modern and traditional; depending on the wine, large Slavonian oak casks between 3000 and 18000 liters might be combined for aging purposes with barriques or stainless steel tanks.The business was established in the early 1800s, when the Marquis of Barolo married the French noblewoman Juliette Colbert. She provided the impetus to the development of the estate that bore her husband's name. Five generations of the Abbona family have now owned and managed the company.
