Grape Variety:
100% Nebbiolo
Tasting Note:
The Marcorino comes from ungrafted vines from a monopoly vineyard in Neive. Sweet fruit, massive attack and dried fruits dominate here. A world-class Barbaresco from former Gaja winemaker Guido and his son Enrico Rivella.
Vinification:
In 2009, Guido Rivella, the oenologist of Gaja for the last 40 years started to produce his own wine and the wine is wondeful. 12,500 bottles were produced annually from his own 3.5 hectares using Organic Viticulture.
