2023 Cascina delle Rose, Barbaresco, Marcorino

Cascina delle Rose is a family-run estate located in the Tre Stelle area of Barbaresco, where the Rizzolio family has stewarded their land since 1948. This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo vines planted in 1944, which benefit from the unique sandy, clayey-limestone soils of the Marcorino cru. In the glass, it displays a bright garnet hue, offering notes of red berries, floral aromatics, and forest floor with a dense, silky tannin structure. The 2023 vintage provided conditions that resulted in a balanced, aromatic profile with slightly more structure than previous years. This wine is built for the cellar but maintains an openness that makes it a compelling choice for those who value both elegance and aging potential.
