2007 Langhe Nebbiolo, Lasarin, Az. Agr. Marcarini

In making this wine, Manuel Marchetti has drawn on young vine (Barolo) fruit and from a thirty-year old sandy single-vineyard 'Montaldo' north of the Tanaro River in the Roero region. Swiftly stainless-steel fermented at reasonably low temperatures, Manuel's preserved a combination of floral and mulberry fruit aromatics, while maintaining a rich texture and meaty/minerally structure. Drinking now till 2012, especially with meaty pasta dishes.
