Barbaresco 'Riserva della Casa' Marchesi di Barolo 2015

The Barbaresco 'Riserva della Casa' by Marchesi di Barolo is a full-bodied red wine from Piemonte, made from nebbiolo grapes grown in soils rich in clay and limestone, known as Terre Bianche. The harvest is done by hand, with a selection of the bunches in the vineyard and a maceration on the skins lasting about fifteen days. The wine then matures for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and completes its aging in the bottle, reaching the market about four years after the harvest. On the nose, it is intense and ethereal, with notes of dog rose, tobacco, spices, and goudron. The palate is elegant, supported by abundant yet balanced tannins. Ideal with a braised beef dish.
