2021 Cascina delle Rose Marcorino, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy
$89.99
In 2018, they were able to obtain access to rent a small half-hectare parcel of the cru Marcorino, one that had been farmed organically for years just like their own vineyards are. Later, in 2024, they were able to purchase the parcel. The Barbareschi are then aged for 22-24 months in large botti - mostly Slavonian with a few Swiss casks they purchased in 2016. The oldest of their casks is from 1999 and the youngest from 2017. The wines spend a few months in the bottle before release as well.
