Tasting Notes
The Barolo Marassio represents the most powerful and structured wine of the Barolo trio from Giulia Negri. Hailing from the highest parcels with substantial active limestone and chalk in the soil, this wine is intensely mineral-driven. The nose is deeper, offering dark plum and black cherry notes interweaved with dried herbs and a pronounced saline character. The palate is dense and rich, featuring noble, fine-grained tannins and a long, stony finish that requires ample cellar time to reach its full potential.
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
