Marcarini "La Serra" Barolo 2019

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“The 2019 Barolo La Serra is a super-classic wine from this La Morra site. Bright acids, bracing minerals and striking aromatics all La Serra signatures come through loud and clear. Medium in body, with terrific freshness and plenty of verve, the 2019 is wonderfully expressive today. It will drink well with minimal cellaring.” - 93 PTS., ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS MEDIA (11/2022)

“The moment the cork is pulled, aromas spill out this beautifully crafted Barolo. Notes of wild cherry and macerated raspberry steal the show on the nose but as the wine develops, savory herb and spiced tea notes emerge. The wine dances on the palate with vivid red fruit notes that meld with herbal and woodsy notes finishing with elegant, yet firm tannins and crunch acidity. Built for the cellar. Drink 2026–2045.” - 95 PTS., WINE ENTHUSIAST (12/2023)

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “A historic wine cru with soils rich in minerals and microelements capable of producing wines with great color, finesse, and flavor with smoother tannins. The area benefits from cool and dry breezes. Ripening takes longer, favoring subtlety. Marcarini’s La Serra Barolo ages at least twenty-four months in oak and six months in stainless steel. Generous aromas with classic and noble aromas.”
