Marziano Abbona Barolo expresses an interesting nose of fresh and fruity notes with complex hints of spice and balsamic. On the palate, there's elegance, freshness and drinkability. Body and tannin are intense but balanced. A great wine to promptly enjoy or age up to 10 years.
100% Nebbiolo from Monforte d’Alba. Grapes are cultivated in Perno, a village between Monforte and Serralunga d'Alba. Average age of vineyards: 36 years old.
Aging in barrels of 25 hectoliters for 34 months. Assemblage and bottling without filtering. Rests in the bottle for three months before release.
James Suckling Review:
This offers spiced and earthy nuances on the nose yet goes deep on red and dark berries, dried citrus fruit and flowers too. Mediumbodied, firm and tense on the palate with juicy acidity and dusty, lightly chewy tannins. Fresh and racy.
