Description
Marchesi di Barolo’s 2016 Barolo del Comune di Barolo is a village-level Nebbiolo sourced from multiple vineyards in the Barolo commune, featuring calcareous clay soils. The estate follows sustainable farming, with hand harvesting and native yeast fermentation, aging the wine for over 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks.
This Barolo offers red cherry, rose, licorice, and earthy notes with firm tannins and lively acidity. It’s approachable yet structured, expressing classic Barolo character with aging potential.
Critical Acclaim
90 points Wine Enthusiast
Camphor, underbrush and a whiff of blue flower lead the way. On the medium-bodied palate, close-grained tannins accompany sour cherry and pomegranate before a tight, rather austere finish. Drink after 2026. — Kerin O’Keefe (09/2020)
