To the eye, it displays an intense ruby red hue, enriched by elegant purple highlights. The bouquet is dynamic and fragrant, characterised by notes of blackberry and red fruit jam, enhanced by \u003cstrong\u003espicy hints of vanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and nuances of toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is full and substantial, balanced by a delicate freshness and \u003cstrong\u003efine, smooth tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead to a persistent and harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates from the vineyards of Piedmont, in the Alba area. The vines take root in \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with the presence of whitish marl, a geological composition that imparts solidity of flavour and intensity of colour. Marchesi di Barolo cultivates these lands, enhancing the essence of the Langhe.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, with maceration on the skins for about eight days and frequent pumping over for optimal extraction. After racking, the wine matures for about a year in traditional \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and small French oak casks. This maturation softens the structure of the wine, allowing for perfect integration of the wood and delivering a \u003cstrong\u003edeep and satisfying sip\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1806 in the heart of the Langhe, the \u003cstrong\u003eMarchesi di Barolo\u003c\/strong\u003e winery embodies the great winemaking tradition of Piedmont.
