Marchesi di Barolo Barbaresco 2018
$48
A succulent red, with a mix of tar, tobacco and eucalyptus aromas and flavors shading cherry and raspberry fruit. Builds in volume through the long finish. While this shows a solid spine of tannins, it feels balanced and resonant overall. Best from 2024 through 2039. 6,700 cases made, 900 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.
