About
the wine
A splendid, unique digestive and dessert wine made by Poderi Marcarini
from te lovely La Morra village in Piemonte. Its an ancient recipe to
preserve Nebbiolo based wines in the 1800s. Now it is consired t be a
very nice digestive and dessertwine. A specialty for connoisseurs!
The Barolo Chinato traces its origins to the heart of the Barolo region
toward the end of the 1800s. It derives from an ancient recipe which
has been carefully preserved by our ancestors: the infusion of China
Calissaya bark and several aromatic alpine herbs with aged Barolo wine
has long been considered a remedy for several diseases. Aged for a long
time in oak barrels, this aromatic wine becomes a low-alcoholic
"elixir", amber-colored and with ruby-red reflections. Its spicy,
intense and persistent nose and the bittersweet taste of the China bark
make it a lovely and inviting wine. A rare specialty for connoisseurs!
There are various excellent ways to serve this wine: mixed with mineral
water and ice, as an aperitif; neat, as a delicate after-dinner
liqueur; or warmed up and served with orange peel, when it becomes the
ideal drink for frosty winter evenings. Not just a meditation wine,
Barolo Chinato is a fantastic companion with chocolate desserts.
Drinktemperature is 14-15° C.
Drink until 10 - 12 years after the year of production.
About the
producer
To better understand Marcarini Winery, one must look beyond its most
contemporary aspects such as its modern vineyard and vinification
equipment or a growing international market: one must examine its
history and traditions. Today, as yesterday, Anna Marcarini Bava, with
the collaboration of her daughter Luisa and son-in-law Manuel
Marchetti, manage the family vineyards with passion, producing wine
according to the most rigorous Piedmont and in particular Langhe
tradition. This is the Marcarini Winery: its proprietors, vineyards,
wine cellars, wines and history. A history made by intelligent choices
and hard work, by technique and intuition, lived far away from the
spotlight: a history for a passionate few, for friends who yearn for
things made well and with heart. At La Morra, where the vine has since
time immemorial dominated over other cultivations, the winemaker’s
ancient spirit is revived daily, with the noble goal of capturing
quality perfection in each of his wines.
The vineyard estates are the winery’s center of activity and bear
prestigious names such as “Brunate” and “La Serra”, both situated in
the area of La Morra, “Sargentin” in Neviglie – particularly adapted to
the growing of the Moscato grape, “La Serra” and “Muschiavino” in the
town of Montaldo Roero. Their position and inclination, the nature and
composition of the soil, the exposure to the sun and the exceptional
microclimate are all fundamental requirements to obtaining excellent
wines. The different vineyards, all owned by Marcarini, are cared for
with particular attention. A system of pruning aimed to limit the grape
production has been adopted, as has a maintenance composting with
organic substances. We practice a controlled grassing over of the vine
rows, and the vine diseases are treated with products strictly based on
traditional methods. The grape varieties grown are exclusively
Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and white Moscato. Altogether, the estate
covers a surface area of 25 hectares.
The Marcarini cellars have been historically situated in an 18th
century building located aside a medieval tower which dominates the
vineyards of the Barolo valley below. Experience, tradition and
innovation: Marcarini has established an expert method of regulating
vineyard production such that the winery’s quality potential continues
to improve. This scrupulous attention to detail continues in the
cellars, where tradition and technical innovation find an ideal
equilibrium. The pathway to excellence therefore leads us down to the
cellars, where the Marcarini wines evolve and age in the cool, silent
darkness, well protected from the sunlight and from sudden changes of
temperature, slowly perfecting those aromas and flavors that make them
unmistakably unique.
