1964 | Marcarini | Barolo Brunate

Lovely powerful red. The nose showed sweet dark cherries in soil with crushed fall leaves and dank, moist undergrowth. On the palate, it was lively and clean with dry red fruits, minerals and citrus rind. The finish clung to the palate. Elegant and structured wine, definitely worth tasting!

• Eric Guido: The nose showed sweet dark cherries in soil with crushed fall leaves and dank, moist undergrowth. On the palate, it was lively and clean with dry red fruits, minerals and citrus rind. The finish clung to the palate and left me in awe as I considered the age of this bottle and how well it performed.

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. Marcarini's red wine portfolio also includes several Dolcetto d'Alba and Barbera d'Alba wines from its well-established vineyards in La Morra and Neviglie. Indeed, the Boschi di Berri vineyard is over a century old and was planted to Dolcetto in the latter part of the 19th Century. Marcarini also produces a semi-sweet, sparkling Moscato d'Asti, as well as a dry Roero Arneis wine.
