About the Winery:
Notes from the Winemaker:
La Serra, as the other side of Marcarini Barolo production is named, comes from a historic area of ancient origin whose soil, lacking organic substances but rich in mineral salts and microelements, is capable of giving wines good color, structure, and flavor but never excessive tannins. The particular microclimate is characterized by a slight ventilation with the circulation of fresh and dry air
The ripening occurs a bit later than in the Brunate area, resulting in very elegant and apparently less structured wines, but always generous and rich with intense, ethereal bouquets. \The fermentation and all phases of maturation follow the same traditional methodology as the Brunate wine.
Tasting Notes:
The wine has a garnet-red color with ruby-red reflections and a slight orange note. The nose is ethereal, fresh, elegant and very persistent, with hints of violet, rose, licorice and sweet spices. In the mouth, the flavor is long and intense.
To be served in crystal glasses with very large bowls.
Ratings & Reviews
91 Points – Wine Spectator Magazine:
“Seems developed for a young Barolo, with tar, mushroom and leather flavors. Though chewy, this is elegant, presenting a smooth texture and fine balance. Best from 2017 through 2027. 2,000 cases made.” – BS (Jun 30, 2016)
“Marcarini’s 2012 Barolo La Serra is very pretty, soft and understated. Exotic spices, orange peel, rosewater and dried flowers all lift from the glass in a mid-weight, gracious Barolo endowed with lovely precision and a real sense of understated grace. Silky, lifted and aromatic, the 2012 is quite appealing, even at this early stage. The tannins are precise and chiseled in classic La Serra style, but the wine’s mid-weight personality makes the 2012 unusually accessible early. The slightly forward color and medium-bodied structure suggests the 2012 won’t be a long-term ager, although it is quite expressive today. Issues with hail lowered yields by 10-15%.” – Antonio Galloni (November 2015)
90 Points – Wine & Spirits:
“Subtle notes of damp earth and spice accent this wine’s soft red fruit flavors, giving it a delicate aspect that’s reinforced by fine-grained tannins. It feels developed for a young wine, with notes of mushroom and forest floor that offer sophisticated drinking in the near term.”
Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
“This opens with funky aromas suggesting barnyard, dry underbrush and a balsamic note. On the palate, a hint of licorice backs up unripe cherry while bracing tannins provide firm support.” – Kerin O’Keefe (9/1/2016)
