Why You'll Love It
There's incredible depth here. Fragrant rose petals and violets give way to sour cherry, wild raspberry and blood orange, before savoury notes of liquorice, leather, tobacco and truffle begin to emerge. Despite its power, there's a remarkable elegance running through the wine, with beautifully fine tannins and an eternal finish.

Enjoy it now after a good decant, or tuck it away for another decade or two and watch it evolve. Pair it with braised beef, wild mushroom risotto, truffle pasta or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Remember, what grows together goes together.
About The Producer
Agricola Marrone is a fourth-generation family estate in Annunziata, below La Morra in the Langhe. Pietro Marrone began questioning local vineyard conventions in 1910, reducing yields to favour better grapes. That attention to quality remains central to the estate, with hands-on pruning, crop management and selective harvesting. Today Gian Piero and Giovanna work alongside their daughters: Valentina makes the wines, Serena runs the business and Denise leads hospitality. The family combines the structure and tradition of Piedmont with a warm, precise, place-focused approach.
Winemaking Information
The fruit comes exclusively from the celebrated Bussia cru, one of Barolo's most prestigious vineyard sites. After rigorous selection in both the vineyard and winery, the Nebbiolo undergoes a long 35-day maceration to gently extract colour, perfume and finely structured tannins. Following fermentation, the wine completes malolactic fermentation in large oak casks before spending 30 months ageing in large Slavonian oak botti, with regular bâtonnage during the first ten months. A further six months in bottle ensures the wine is beautifully integrated before release.
