2020 Demarie Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
A classic expression of Barolo, with aromas of dark cherry, rose petals, and subtle hints of tar and earthy spice. The palate is powerful yet elegant, showcasing structured tannins and a refreshing acidity that balance the fruit perfectly. The flavors of ripe red fruits, dried herbs, and a touch of licorice are complemented by the characteristic minerality of the Langhe hills. The finish is long and persistent, with layers of complexity that continue to evolve in the glass.

ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2020 Demarie Barolo is sourced from some of the finest vineyards in the heart of the Barolo region. The grapes were hand-harvested in late October, ensuring only the ripest fruit was selected. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks with traditional pump-overs to extract color and tannin, followed by an extended maceration. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 24 months in large Slovenian oak casks, allowing for the development of its rich, complex flavors without overwhelming the delicate nuances of the Nebbiolo grape. The wine was bottled in the spring of 2023 and released in late 2023.
