2020 Marcarini - Barolo La Morra (750ml)

Marcarini, a sixth-generation family estate perched beneath a medieval watchtower in the heart of La Morra, presents this 2020 Barolo La Morra (750ml) as a quintessential expression of Piedmont’s Nebbiolo terroir.

Del Comune di La Morra is the estate’s most terroir-expressive cuvée, blending parcels across La Morra’s Tortonian soils — ancient blue marls and limestone — to coax a perfume-driven, silkier Nebbiolo than most Barolos. The result is an wine that leans elegant rather than austere, with immediate appeal and a graceful aging trajectory.

Tasting notes

• Nose: ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, dried rose petal, sweet spice, and forest floor, with hints of cedar, mint, and worn leather adding additional complexity.
• Palate: medium-bodied and translucent, with a crunchy texture, fine dusty tannins, and a long, lifted finish.

The 2020 delivers a compelling, fragrant profile and a refined, approachable structure that makes it both satisfying on release and capable of evolving through 2034.
