The Marchesi di Barolo 1998 is a red wine that embodies the tradition and elegance of the historic Barolo denomination, situated in the heart of the Langhe region in Piedmont. This Barolo DOCG, made from mature Nebbiolo grapes, rightly ages in oak barrels, imparting a surprising complexity. With the first sip, one is enveloped by a bouquet of dark fruits like blackberry and cherry, enhanced by delicate notes of leather and tobacco, evolving into hints of rose and sweet spices, characteristic of a vintage that has managed to preserve freshness and structure.
With its 13.5% alcohol content, this wine presents a proud yet well-integrated tannin structure, making it perfect for aging. It is generous on the palate, with a long and persistent finish that invites another sip. Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as braised Barolo or a selection of aged cheeses, the Marchesi di Barolo 1998 is a celebration of Piedmontese terroir, a sensory experience that tells stories of lands and traditions, perfect for a refined dinner or an intimate evening. Concluding a day, this wine is a poem in a bottle, to be savored slowly and with gratitude.
