Marrone - Barolo Pichemej (2016)
Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
About the wine
‘Pichemej’ means “more than better” in the local Piedmontese dialect, the heritage of the family. It develops in the glass with a typically garnet color. It leaves the nose speechless, where subtle and elegant notes alternate, to create an exceptional aromatic bouquet: lovely mature cherry, nutmeg and hints of Indian spice. In the mouth it continues round and full, showing flashes of hay and alpine herbs and flowers, with balanced tannins. Great aging potential.
"A very soft, fine-tannined red with plum, chocolate and cedar character. It’s medium-bodied. Chewy yet, at the same time, caressing finish. Give it a year or two to soften. Drink after 2022." 93 points - James Suckling
Pairs well with lamb, beef, venison, and pasta
