Brunate is one of Barolo's grand crus, and the Marcarini family has farmed a substantial chunk of it for generations from their base in La Morra. This is the wine that made their name: traditionally made Nebbiolo aged two years in large Slavonian oak casks, built to reward the cellar. The 2001 vintage is one of the modern greats in Barolo, a classic, structured year that stands shoulder to shoulder with 2010. At roughly twenty-five years on, a well-kept bottle is now fully in its stride, resolved and singing while holding onto the freshness that made it ageworthy. Decant it, or simply pour and enjoy a mature Barolo doing exactly what it was meant to do.

Antonio Galloni

87 points

"Marcarini's 2001 Barolo Brunate did not enjoy a great showing. Advanced aromatics and hard, angular contours are suprising for a ten year-old Marcarini Barolo. Hints of sweet pipe tobacco and leather add some complexity, but the wine never comes together in the glass." —Antonio Galloni

Wine Enthusiast

"Deceptively soft and supple, this plump, full-bodied wine features ripe black cherries, a dose of chocolate liqueur and hints of citrus zest. Firms up on the finish, which boasts mouthwatering length and substantial tannic heft. Try after 2008." —Joe Czerwinski

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato al Barolo, braised beef short ribs, mushroom or truffle risotto, or aged Castelmagno.

Tasting Profile

Classic traditional Barolo, now mature. Nebbiolo's rose, tar, dried cherry and licorice deepened by leather, truffle and earth. Full-bodied with softened, resolving tannins, bright acidity and a long, perfumed finish.
