(Wine Advocate Score 92) Here's a solid expression of Nebbiolo with delicate, almost Burgundian lines. The 2014 Barolo gives off an initial impression of greater power and density. This effect does not last long because the more you contemplate the bouquet, the more you are made aware of its delicate and fine nature. There are blue fruit aromas backed by very pretty tones of crushed mineral, ash and pressed violets. The mouthfeel is broad and persistent, albeit less dense or rich compared to past vintages. Marco Marenga tells me that 2014 reminds him of the 1996 vintage, thanks to the wine's ability to maintain its natural freshness.

A more modern style of Barolo which is more fruitier and has some new oak vanilla and cloves. Yet, the oak adds complexity rather than overpower the delicacy of Nebbiolo. Maceration with the skins for approx. 10 days depending on the vintage. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are natural: no yeast nor bacteria are added. The temperature in the cellar is raised in order to make the malolactic fermentation start. The wine matures for 24 months in French oak barriques (15% new) and it is bottled during the following summer.
