Devoting several of their sunniest vineyards to the cultivation of the Barbera grape, an ancient native variety of southwest Piedmont, Puts Marcarini in a privileged position. This rustic, humble and vigorous vine offers forth its best fruits. The grapes, picked fully ripe, are fermented according to traditional methods. After aging eight months in small French and Danubian oak barrels, the wine is passed into the bottle where it continues its evolution.

Aromas reminiscent of raspberries, cherries, and leather that are delicate yet intense. This full bodied wine is beautifully balanced with well integrated tannins, oak influence, and bright acidity that lends itself well with rustic food. Perfect with a margherita pizza or any pizza with a red sauce for that matter!

Thanks to its extraordinary characteristics and structure, this wine has an excellent potential for longevity. Its intense garnet color, clarity, and warm ruby-red reflections are indications of its exceptional richness and powerful structure. The full bouquet is characteristic, complex and very persistent, the palate austere and warm, its considerable full body accentuated; the wine’s superb balance and harmony are further exalted by sweet tannins.
