Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Marchesi di Barolo 2011 is a light ruby red with a garnet hue. Rustic and complex, this hearty wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from northern Italy shows layers of tart cherry, forest fruit, underbrush, cedar, rose, graphite, and scorched earth. Youthful integrated tannins complemented with tart acidity make this a great cellar candidate but don't let that sway you from enjoying it now as it's ready and shining bright in its youth for a Barolo. Whether you enjoy it now or let it rest a few years on its side to allow it to evolve further, I recommend savouring it with grilled beef & creamy mushroom risotto. Delicious! Tasted December 2016 + March 2017. 91 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Fantastic integration and well balanced. Declared 14% ABV. Tasted March 2017. Plump ripe cherry, rose petals, minerality and savoury. Great value! 100% Nebbiolo. Tasting well. Paired well with rich spaghetti bolognese. Great acidity, medium fruit, medium tannins. Enjoy 2017-2020. 91 points. BespokeTastings

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
