Featuring Marchesi di Barolo co-owner, Valentina Abbona.
Marchesi di Barolo Sbirolo Langhe Nebbiolo 2018
From the sandy, fertile vineyards of Langhe Nebbiolo DOC comes this fresh and exuberant example of the grape. It showcases the youthful, approachable side of Nebbiolo, with notes of raspberry, violet, and vanilla over elegant tannins.
Marchesi di Barolo Sarmassa Barolo 2015
Just north of the village of Barolo, the southeast-facing Sarmassa vineyard produces concentrated Nebbiolo grapes, which creates an intense and complex wine. Expect classic Barolo aromas of berries, roses, vanilla, tobacco, and more, with excellent structure.
