2022 Langhe Nebbiolo, Lasarin, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Marcarini’s Langhe Nebbiolo is again comprised of two plots, from the junior vines of Brunate, in La Serra, and the sandy soils of Neviglie in Roero. In a vintage as dry as 2022, the moisture-retaining, clay-rich soils of Brunate were of paramount importance in protecting the bright freshness and elegance in the wine. Fermentation temperatures are kept low at 25 degrees, with vinification purely in stainless steel, leading to an invigoratingly pure and primary, true Nebbiolo. Full of fresh, crushed cranberry and pomegranate, alongside black tea and gentle spicy tones. This is a wine of real substance for its stature.

Critics reviews

Kerin O'Keefe 91/100
A text book Langhe Nebbiolo, the Marcarini 2022 Lasarin has pretty aromas of violet, dog rose, wild herb and dark spice. Linear and fresh, the savory palate offers wild strawberry, orange zest and white pepper alongside lithe tannins and tangy acidity. Drink through 2026.Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (February 2024)

Notes of cranberries and strawberries with citrusy freshness and crushed stone minerality. Medium-bodied, dry and chalky on the palate with vivid red berry character and a textural finish. Drink now.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (August 2023)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Marcarini

Few views in Barolo can compete with the one from Marcarini’s terrace in La Morra. Encompassing most of the region’s communes and vineyards, one only has to look south-east to see Barolo’s modest size, cradled in the Italian Alps. It is fitting that Marcarini occupies this prime location; the winery is built underneath La Morra’s medieval watchtower, a signpost to the Marchetti family cantina that’s visible across the region.
