Description
The Marrone Barolo DOCG 2021 is a 100% Nebbiolo red wine from Piedmont, Italy, crafted by the Marrone family from vineyards in La Morra and Castiglione Falletto. Aged for 30 months primarily in large oak casks (botti) with a small percentage in smaller tonneaux.
Aromas of ripe red and black cherries, wild strawberries, violets, red geraniums, fresh oregano, thyme, and hints of camphor and earth. Medium to full-bodied on the palate with silky, refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, spicy finish.
James Suckling (93 Points): Described as a "complex and vibrant wine" defined by notes of dried cherries, licorice, and sweet violets. He noted its velvety palate, refined tannins, juicy acidity, and a long, spicy finish
Ian D'Agata (93 Points): Applauded its bright, lively red profile and "nicely approachable aromas and flavors of red fruit, sweet spices, and herbs" accented by hints of blood orange and musk. He called it a "lovely classic Barolo" featuring a persistent, energetic, and mineral-driven finish.
