To better understand Marcarini Winery, one must look beyond its most contemporary aspects such as its modern vineyard and vinification equipment or a growing international market: one must examine its history and traditions. Today, as yesterday, Anna Marcarini Bava, with the collaboration of her daughter Luisa and son-in-law Manuel Marchetti, manage the family vineyards with passion, producing wine according to the most rigorous Piedmont and in particular Langhe tradition. This is the Marcarini Winery: its proprietors, vineyards, wine cellars, wines and history. A history made by intelligent choices and hard work, by technique and intuition, lived far away from the spotlight: a history for a passionate few, for friends who yearn for things made well and with heart.

At La Morra, where the vine has since time immemorial dominated over other cultivations, the winemaker's ancient spirit is revived daily, with the noble goal of capturing quality perfection in each of his wines.

Our vineyard estates are the winery's center of activity and bear prestigious names such as "Brunate" and "La Serra", both situated in the area of La Morra, "Sargentin" in Neviglie - particularly adapted to the growing of the Moscato grape, "La Serra" and "Muschiavino" in the town of Montaldo Roero. Their position and inclination, the nature and composition of the soil, the exposure to the sun and the exceptional microclimate are all fundamental requirements to obtaining excellent wines. The different vineyards, all owned by Marcarini, are cared for with particular attention. A system of pruning aimed to limit the grape production has been adopted, as has a maintenance composting with organic substances. We practice a controlled grassing over of the vine rows, and the vine diseases are treated with products strictly based on traditional methods. The grape varieties grown are exclusively Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and white Moscato. Altogether, the estate covers a surface area of 25 hectares.

The Marcarini cellars have been historically situated in an 18th century building located aside a medieval tower which dominates the vineyards of the Barolo valley below. Experience, tradition and innovation: Marcarini has established an expert method of regulating vineyard production such that the winery's quality potential continues to improve. This scrupulous attention to detail continues in the cellars, where tradition and technical innovation find an ideal equilibrium. The pathway to excellence therefore leads us down to the cellars, where the Marcarini wines evolve and age in the cool, silent darkness, well protected from the sunlight and from sudden changes of temperature, slowly perfecting those aromas and flavors that make them unmistakably unique.
