Marcarini, Barolo Brunate other_regions_italy Super-fragrant with a floral liftMarcarini's 2004 Barolo Brunate has aged well, but it hasn't really blossomed into a truly special wine, as so many Barolos from this vintage have. If opened now, the 2004 needs a few hours of air for the tannins to soften. The lifted, slightly fleeting, ethereal finish is classic La Serra. Antonio Galloni
