Marchesi di Barolo Barolo 2018
$53
Rich, evoking plum, earth and leather flavors, with a hint of eucalyptus and dense tannins providing support. This feels open, nevertheless, and just needs time to resolve the tannins. Balanced and lingers on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 10,800 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.

Primary Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
