2008 Barolo DOCG, Brunate, Az. Agr. Marcarini

Barolo DOCG, Brunate, Az. Agr. Marcarini
First labelled and sold as a single-vineyard wine in 1934, Brunate is one of the Grand Crus of the Langhe region, even if the classification has not yet been made. Why? Because of its ability to deliver high quality fruit year-in, year-out. It is at the base of the La Morra slope, in a plum south amphiteatro which generates plenty of steamy heat by day and because of its position low down, it chills down quickly by night, preserving the perfumes and extending the hang-time. The wine has a broad and emphatic balsamic richness with a hedonistic meaty, rich strawberry feel, while maintaining a freshness and zip.

Barolo DOCG, Brunate, Az. Agr. Marcarini
The 2008 Barolo Brunate is gorgeous. An open, beguiling bouquet redolent of Christmas cake, plums, menthol and licorice melds into an expressive core of dark fruit. The mystery and allure of Brunate is on full display. The 2008 was quite open just after bottling, but it has begun to shut down since then. Both times I have tasted it, the wine has been translucent, weightless and yet powerful at the same time; in other words, the embodiment of what makes Barolo such a fascinating and complex wine. Simply put, this is textbook Barolo from one of La Morra’s top vineyards. The 2008 Brunate is steeped in class, but readers will have to be patient.
