Description
The 2021 Marcarini Barolo del Comune di La Morra is a 100% Nebbiolo red wine from Piedmont, Italy, reflecting the aromatic and graceful style typical of the La Morra commune. Matured in Slavonian oak barrels (22–45 Hl containers) for 24 months, followed by an additional 6 months of aging in the bottle. At its best now through 2045.
Aromas of crushed flowers, sweet dried red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals, violets, mint, white pepper, and sweet herbs. Medium-weight structure on the palate featuring bright, electric acidity and sour red cherry fruit. Tannins are fine, powdery, suede-like, and classically firm yet polished. The finish is silky, graceful, and persistent.
Wine Enthusiast (94 Points): Notes that the wine literally "soars out of the glass" with striking purity. It highlights high-toned red berries, classic herbal notes, electric acidity, and fine tannins that guide a palate bursting with sour red cherries.
James Suckling (94 Points): Describes it as intense and vibrant, calling out complex, layered aromas of sweet violets, incense, dried cherries, prunes, balsamic, and eucalyptus. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied with thick, dusty, yet ripe tannins
