The Marchesi di Barolo 1987 Barolo DOCG is a wine that embodies the tradition and elegance of Piedmont. Hailing from the historic winery located in the heart of the Barolo denomination, this wine is the result of an exceptional vintage that saw the Nebbiolo vines thrive in a favorable climate. The 1987 harvest produced a Barolo that presents an intense garnet color, the result of careful aging in oak barrels that allowed the aromas to evolve into a complex and captivating bouquet.
On the nose, it reveals notes of withered rose, ripe cherry, and a delicate spiciness of black pepper, accompanied by earthy hints reminiscent of tar and leather. On the palate, the wine offers a powerful yet elegant structure; the tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a softness that merges with a pleasant acidity. The long final persistence is filled with smoky nuances and a background of licorice, enriching the tasting experience.
Perfect to accompany typical dishes of the Piedmontese tradition such as braised beef in Barolo or a lovely plate of tajarin with truffles, this wine is a true ambassador of the Barolo terroir. Best enjoyed at the ideal temperature of 18°C, this Barolo becomes the star of the table, offering moments of pure conviviality and enveloping us in a hug of flavors. A great wine for those seeking a sensory journey into the heart of Italian viticulture.
