This is linear and so racy with a structure and length and focused energy that takes you long and deep. It's medium-bodied with dried strawberry, citrus and spice. Tight at the end. Classicism with transparency. Drink after 2029.

The bright ruby-colored 2020 Barolo Marcenasco is fresh and lively in the glass, with peppery spices, bright red cherries, rose petals, and potpourri. Light on its feet, it's on the leaner side of the spectrum but has a graceful and elegant stony texture, with fine tannins and a chalky finish. An easy-drinking red, it will do well served with a light chill and as a straightforward wine to enjoy over the next couple of years.
