The Marchesi di Barolo 1988 Barolo DOCG Le Lune is a wine that embodies the history and elegance of Piedmontese winemaking tradition. With a vinification process that emphasizes the authenticity of Nebbiolo grapes, this Barolo offers a gateway to the enchanting valleys of the Langhe, where the vines thrive in an ideal microclimate. The 1988 vintage was particularly fortunate, yielding perfect bunches with uniform ripening and a natural sweetness that reflects in the glass.
On the nose, it opens with a complex bouquet of wilted roses, wild berries, and hints of damp earth, interwoven with notes of sweet spices like cinnamon and black pepper. With oxygenation, elegant mineral nuances emerge, a distinctive feature of a Barolo with great depth. On the palate, the tannic structure is present yet refined, allowing a vibrant freshness to enhance the wine's fruitiness. Persistent and harmonious, with a finish that recalls tobacco and a hint of vanilla, it pairs wonderfully with succulent dishes such as Barolo braised meat or porcini mushroom risotto.
Served at an ideal temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and allowed to breathe for an hour, the Marchesi di Barolo 1988 transforms into an unforgettable sensory experience, perfect for celebrating special moments where history merges with taste and conviviality. A symbol of Italian winemaking tradition, this wine invites you to rediscover the timeless elegance of Barolo, a testament to a unique era and territory in the global wine landscape.
