Cascina delle Rose Barbaresco "Marcorino" 2021 Style:Red I had never tasted anyFrom two parcels planted on clay, sandstone, and chalk, one planted in 1944, the other in 1996. 30 day maceration followed by 22 months in large Slavonian oak.

This is the most approachable Barbaresco in our collection now, but it will easily age for a decade or two. Jonathan Kemp
