Marrone Barolo DOCG, Piedmonte, Italy

It comes from a blend of territories: La Morra has tortonian soil which is  more compact calcareous marl soil mixed with sand, rich in magnesium and manganese resulting in more perfumed, gentle, softer wines and Castiglione Fallettowhich has Helvetian soil which is looser calcerous marl, with sandstone, limestone and high levels of iron.

It is aged in oak for 24 months with batonnage on fine lees for the first 8 months.

Rich, dense and powerful. Lovely texture and juiciness with elegant notes of  rose petals and cranberry and a persistent finish. There are hints already of fresh tobacco and mint which makes for a particular freshness. Pairs well with braised meat.

Vegetarian.
