🍷 Marrone Barbaresco DOCG 2020 is a dry red wine made entirely from Nebbiolo in Piedmont, Italy. The bottle brings together a clearly identified vintage, a protected appellation and the character of this distinctive grape. The 2020 vintage comes in a 750 ml bottle at 14% alcohol.
The producer describes a ruby colour developing towards garnet, with raspberry, red fruit, violet and spice in the bouquet. An intense, balanced palate leads to a persistent finish. These details make it a suitable choice for a dinner where the wine has time to open in the glass.
According to Marrone’s production notes, grapes are harvested by hand and gently destemmed and crushed. Skin contact lasts 25 days at 28–30°C, followed by work in larger wooden vessels and barriques. The notes mention eight months of batonnage and further wood ageing; this is not a statement of the total maturation period.
🍽️ Serve Marrone Barbaresco DOCG decanted at 18–20°C, as recommended by the producer. As food pairing suggestions, consider roasted beef, lamb, mushroom pasta or aged cheese. Pour a small first glass and allow the remaining wine to breathe while preparing the meal. Keep the bottle away from strong light and excessive heat, and serve in a roomy red wine glass. Contains sulphites.
