Barolo has achieved almost iconic status within Italian winemaking. Along with Brunello and Amarone, they form a legendary trio in Italy. The Barolo region lies just south of the industrial city of Turin, in northwestern Italy. The acreage is small; only 1,200 hectares can be called Barolo. That sounds like a lot, but it's small, especially when compared to the demand for this spectacular wine.
Since the 1930s, Marco Porello Winery has owned several beautiful Cru vineyards in the heart of the Barolo region. The majority are found in Cru Baudana and Cru Sorano. However, some of the Nebbiolo grapes also come from the magnificent vineyard in Sottocestello di Novello. Because the grapes from these various vineyards are expertly blended by Marco Porello's winemaker, this Barolo wine offers an exceptionally high price-quality ratio.
With Nebbiolo from Piedmont taking center stage, this red wine is undoubtedly fantastic. The secret of this Porello Barolo lies in its oak aging, which lasts a full 24 months in Slavonian oak. This creates a unique and intense bouquet. The aroma alone made us incredibly happy: barm, berries, and a hint of anise. Undeniably a Barolo. The flavor is powerful yet smooth. Lush spices play intensely with your taste buds. The finish of Marco Porello Barolo seems lingering. A must-have for your wine cellar.
