Secondly, it highlights an underappreciated category—Nebbiolo d’Alba. Thirdly, I urge an importer to pick it up. Marchesi di Barolo, located in the center of the Barolo village itself, is an historic and superb producer. You can be thrilled with any of their wines from their top Barolo to less prestigious ones, like this Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo, after all, is the grape of Barolo and Barbaresco, so think of Nebbiolo d’Alba—or di Piemonte for that matter—as a Rosso in the sense of Rosso di Montalcino in relation to Brunello. This one delivers the aromatic allure of Barolo along with less weight, but the same appealing combination of fruity and savory elements with far less of a tannic grip.
