Description

Ah, let me tell you about the Marcarini Lasarin Nebbiolo delle Langhe. This is not just another bottle; it's a sip of the Piedmontese soul, crafted with passion and tradition by the esteemed Marcarini winery. The winery, nestled in the heart of the Langhe region, has been a family affair for generations, dedicating themselves to express the full potential of the Nebbiolo grape. The Marcarini family are an old family since 1820 and are producing wines in the 12 ha vineyard of the historical Brunate Cru in La Morra, Piedmont.

This 'Lasarin' is the name of the vineyard. The wine is a 100% Nebbiolo, but a 'Vino da Tavola'. This wine is the simpler brother to the Barolos by Marcarini, but with the same quality and a fruitier character. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and the result is a fresh, easy-drinking wine that will surprise you!

Imagine a wine with a vibrant ruby-red hue, almost like liquid jewels in your glass. Swirl it gently and you'll be greeted by an enticing bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of dried cranberries, mingled with subtle floral notes of violets and roses. There's a delicate earthy undertone, reminiscent of the rich soils of the Langhe hills where these Nebbiolo vines thrive. On the palate, the Lasarin is dry, elegant, and medium-bodied, with a refreshing acidity that brings it to life. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a lovely structure without overpowering the wine's vibrant fruitiness. A touch of spice lingers on the finish, adding a delightful complexity that keeps you coming back for more.

This is a wine that begs to be paired with food. Think of classic Piedmontese dishes: a hearty plate of agnolotti del plin, a creamy risotto with porcini mushrooms, or a succulent veal roast. It's also delightful with simply prepared grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a selection of aged cheeses. It shines with earthy mushroom dishes, savory pasta, and game birds. It's a versatile companion that elevates any meal with its vibrant personality.

This wine is perfect for those looking to explore the iconic Nebbiolo grape without the weight of a Barolo. It’s a testament to the Marcarini family’s dedication to quality and tradition. Each bottle encapsulates the essence of the Langhe region, offering a taste of its terroir and the craftsmanship that makes it so special. Treat yourself to a bottle of Marcarini Lasarin Nebbiolo delle Langhe and discover the magic of Piedmont in every sip!
