Proprietor Manuel Marchetti waited until after the October rains to harvest. According to Marchetti the grapes weren't physically ripe when it rained so he gambled and waited out the bad weather. In his case that seems to have been a very wise choice. Both 2005 Marcarini Barolos are gorgeous and beautifully balanced wines. In fact, these Barolos could be used to teach a class on what greatness truly means when it comes to one of Piedmont's most historic vineyards, Brunate. Marchetti have his 2005 Barolos 45 days of maceration in stainless steel and cement, The wines were then racked into steel where they completed their malolactic fermentations, and then went back into large casks for two years of aging. The wines were bottled in December 2008, yet seemed to show little adverse effects from their recent bottling.
