Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
The 2017 Barolo Marcenasco is a very pretty, elegant wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, mint, cinnamon and orange peel give this effusive, inviting Barolo tons of aromatic presence. This gracious, refined Barolo will drink well right out of the gate. Tasting it reminds me of the days I often drank this bottling when it was what my bank account allowed.

I was expecting a darker, more full-bodued red, but this was incredibly balanced and approachable.
