Red Wine: 1964 | Marcarini | Barolo Brunate La Morra
Lovely powerful red. Ethereal on the nose with subtle expressions of smoke, apricot, freshly cut blond tobacco mineral earth, and sweet herbs coming together seamlessly over an underlying orange scented mist. On the palate this exudes elegance with subtle red cherry fruit and bitter cherry notes flecked with slightly medicinal notes, hints of black tea, and moments of fennel seed and licorice spice. Long on the palate and showing engaging complexity and fine tannic.

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.
