Marchesi di Barolo Barolo Del Comune di Barolo DOCG 2016

The grapes that contribute to the production of this particular cuvée of Barolo come exclusively from vineyards owned by “Crus Storici” located in the Municipality of Barolo on gently sloping hills, formed by clayey limestone soils interspersed with compact layers of grey sandstone and covered with sands quartz and very fine silt. Nebbiolo is the eclectic vine par excellence: from the compact clay and limestone soils extract an abundance of mineral salts and trace elements that enrich the structure, from the loose soils of sands and silt it picks up fragrant and spicy aromas. The desire is to obtain the assembly that achieves the harmonious synthesis of the characteristics of the vintage, in relation to the climatic trend and the main characteristics expressed by Nebbiolo based on the microclimate and the quality of the soils of the individual vineyards.

The colour is garnet red with ruby reflections. Aromas are pronounced and persistent with distinct traces of spices, cinnamon, absinth, tobacco and wild rose. The palate is full and elegant, with soft tannins. The spicy note and the hints of wood blend perfectly. This wine is well matched with traditional Langhe egg pasta, Tajarin, ravioli, red meat dishes, stews, braised meats and game. It is also the ideal companion for sheep and goat’s milk and mildly-aged cheeses.
