Agricola Marrone has been producing outstanding wines in Piemonte for four generations. The third and fourth generations run the estate today and take every care to ensure the quality of their wines… the grapes are even hand picked into small boxes and transported to the winery on sleds to avoid them being bounced about on the back of a trailer! The wines reflect perfectly their terroir but are, at the same time supremely drinkable lacking the aggressive tannins of so many wines from the region.
The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo offers vibrant aromas of red cherries, rose petals, and subtle hints of herbs. On the palate, it is smooth with bright acidity, displaying flavors of ripe red fruit, a touch of spice, and earthy undertones. Its fine tannins and balanced structure lead to a long, elegant finish.

"This wine shows a lovely delicate linear expression in the glass. Light and translucent, the aromatics are certainly slightly more assertive than the delicate Nebbiolo colour with sweet fruit red cherry aromatics, dried potpourri herbs, rose petals, red liquorice, and sweet sun-dried red currants. The palate shows a fine-boned structure resting comfortably on a taut frame of sinewy tannins and deliciously tangy fresh acids. But Nebbiolo is a deceptive grape, and the light touch concentration, minerality, and subtle tobacco and tar hints really make this quite a food-friendly mouthful. Don’t expect to just pop and pour because it’s not a Barolo, this wine needs a good 1 to 2-hour decant, and only then do you really get your money’s worth. A classical beauty. Drink now to 2028+." – Greg Sherwood MW.
