Introduction:
A classic Barolo that showcases the elegance and power of Nebbiolo, the 2017 Marrone Barolo offers a rich tapestry of flavors, balancing firm tannins, fresh acidity, and a complex aromatic profile. Crafted with precision, this wine embodies the heart of Piedmont’s winemaking tradition.

Terrior:
Hailing from the Barolo DOCG in Piedmont, Italy, this wine benefits from the region’s marl and sandstone soils and continental climate with cool nights, ensuring slow ripening and complex flavor development.

Appearance:
Medium garnet red with a slight brick-orange hue at the rim, indicative of Nebbiolo’s classic aging potential.

Nose:
Captivating and layered, with aromas of dried rose petals, red cherries, and wild strawberries. Subtle notes of tar, leather, truffle, and a hint of spice (clove and anise) provide depth and complexity.

Palate:
Full-bodied with elegant structure. Flavors of red berries, sour cherries, and pomegranate meld with savory notes of tobacco, dried herbs, and a touch of earthiness. The tannins are firm yet fine-grained, complemented by a lively acidity that carries the wine through a beautifully balanced mid-palate.

Finish:
Long and persistent, with lingering red fruit, spice, and a savory mineral undertone.

Overall Impression:
A sophisticated and age-worthy Barolo that delivers a harmonious blend of power and finesse. The 2017 vintage shows approachability in its youth but will also reward further aging.

Pairing Suggestions:
This wine is a natural partner for rich dishes such as braised beef cheeks, osso buco, or wild mushroom risotto. It also pairs beautifully with truffle-based dishes, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, or tajarin pasta with butter and sage. For a lighter pairing, try roasted duck or lamb chops.
