Marcarini is one of the most solid, reliable Barolo producers. These may not be the flashiest or most exciting wines readers will come across, but they rarely fail to deliver the goods. Even better, the Marcarini Baroli remain some of the most fairly priced wines in the market. The estate's 2000s have developed as well as could be expected.

Director Manuel Marchetti rates 1999 as even better than 1996, owing to its elegance. Among the recent string of strong years, according to Marchetti, 1999 was the second highest in dry extract to 1997. He described 2000 as a tricky harvest. "Some picked too early because of a bad weather forecast," he told me. "But the skins were thick, and it was possible to let the fruit hang through the rainy period in mid-October. The later-picked stuff may have lost a bit of potential alcohol but it had much more color. Vintage 2000 resembles 1998 in quality, style and structure, even if 1998 witnessed a drier harvest." The Marcarini Barolos still spend a month on their skins, but in recent years the actual length of fermentation has been shorter and an automated system has been used to spray the must onto the cap in order to push the juice through the skins more gently. These are aromatically expressive, stylish Barolos with a history of aging gracefully.
