Marrone Barolo DOCG Red Dry Wine 2019 is a dry red wine from Piedmont, Italy, made from 100% Nebbiolo. The original bottle identifies the 2019 harvest, a 750 ml volume and 14.5% alcohol. It is the classic Barolo bottling from Agricola Gian Piero Marrone, a wine with a structured character and a complex bouquet.
The producer describes a garnet colour and a combination of red fruit, flowers and spice. The 2019 vintage was awarded 93 points and Cellar Selection by Wine Enthusiast in its April 2024 issue. Its reviewer highlights dark cherry, earthy mushroom notes, herbs and spice, with generous fruit and balanced tannins. These characteristics offer a useful guide to the wine’s savoury, layered style.
Marrone’s production notes describe hand harvesting, careful grape selection and fermentation at 28°C for 30 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in large wooden barrels and barriques, followed by eight months of batonnage on fine lees. This treatment contributes to the wine’s development in wood, without implying an unverified total ageing duration.
For serving Marrone Barolo DOCG Red Dry Wine, we suggest 18–20°C and gentle decanting. A broad red wine glass gives the bouquet room to unfold. Food pairing suggestions include braised beef, roasted lamb, mushroom risotto and mature cheeses. Let the wine open gradually and taste it alongside the meal, allowing its fruit, savoury notes and tannins to develop in the glass. Keep the bottle protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Contains sulphites.
