Brunate

1989 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Marchesi Di Barolo Brunate, a remarkable Nebbiolo from the esteemed Barolo region, is a captivating expression of its vintage. This full-bodied red wine boasts a pronounced acidity that invigorates the palate, bringing a bright freshness to its character. The tannins are notably structured, offering a firm backbone that enhances the wine's aging potential and complexity. With a high fruit intensity, it delivers rich notes of dark cherries, raspberries, and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of earthiness and floral undertones. This wine is well-balanced and remains dry, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or for savoring on its own, showcasing the elegance and depth that Barolo is celebrated for.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
