Marchesi di Barolo – Barolo DOCG Riserva 2009 Classic and traditionally styled Barolo Riserva from the historic house Marchesi di Barolo, founded in 1861 and regarded as one of the founding estates of Barolo itself. Produced exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo and released only after extended ageing, this Riserva represents a more structured and long‑lived expression than the estate’s standard Barolo bottlings. The 2009 vintage in Barolo was characterised by a warm growing season, resulting in wines that are approachable yet still structured, with resolved tannins and complex tertiary aromas developing earlier than in more austere vintages.
