93 Points James Suckling
 
This is very tight with lots of walnut oil to the red fruit on the nose and palate. Medium-to full-bodied with very fine, rather laid-back tannins and fresher red berries coming through on the finish. A finely wrought, graceful wine that promises more complexity with a couple of years of aging.
Winemaker Notes
100% Nebbiolo. Marcarini Barolo “Brunate” DOCG is garnet in color with slight orange reflections. An austere and imposing example of this cru displaying characteristic power and strength. Its classic style excites the nose with marvelous spice, tobacco, and dry rose scents.
