Marchesi di Barolo Barbera del Monferrato DOC Maraia 2021

About

The Marchesi di Barolo estate encompasses approximately 430 acres of vineyards in the Langhe, some of the finest in Piedmont, including the prestigious Cannubi cru. The cellars are located in the village of Barolo, overlooking the Renaissance castle of the Marchesi Falletti di Barolo. Barolo as we know it today was first made in the early 19th century by the Marchese Carlo Tancredi Falletti di Barolo and his wife, Giulia.

Terroir

The Barbera vine is certainly the most classic grown on the Monferrato hills. The grapes come from vineyards obtained from predominantly calcareous clay soils, with the presence of quartz sand and silt, capable of ensuring the wine a fragrant and vigorous, but balanced character and a broad expression of the bouquet.

Vinification

The grapes, harvested exclusively by hand, arrive in the cellar intact and are quickly pressed and delicately destemmed to extract only the most noble and aromatic fractions from the grape skin and left toferment in thermo-conditioned tanks at a
controlled temperature of 27-28 ° C. After a maceration of 8 days, alternating frequent pumping over to allow the must to take advantage of all the trace elements present in the skins and to delicately extract the coloring material, the wine is drawn off almost completely dry.

Tasting Notes

The color is deep purple red, lively and brilliant. The scent is fresh, with fruity notes reminiscent of blackberry, red fruit jam and spicy hints of vanilla and toasted hazelnut. The taste is full and enveloping, with a slight acidic streak.

Food Pairing

It is paired best with roasted or grilled pork or lamb as well as tomato based pasta dishes like bolognaise. It is also paired well with charcuterie and cured meats like salumi.
