Marcarini Barolo Del Comune Di La Morra 2017/18, Italy

Barolo is widely considered Italy’s king of wines. Head to the region, and you’ll find the dark depths of Poderi Marcarini’s winery. They may not make for an enticing holiday destination, but this wine is protected from light and temperature changes while ageing there. This means it can evolve and mature to its best without disruption, perfecting the powerful aromas and preserving unique flavours. The result is a rich, fresh bouquet of violets and roses and a long, intense finish.
