Barolo 'Vigna Merenda' 2004

This product is not currently available.

This stunning “Vigna Merenda” from Scarzello is the reason we drink Barolo: elegant and nuanced but powerful. It’s the essence of the Nebbiolo grape. The winemaker Federico Scarzello won the prestigious Tre Bicchieri award for this wine almost 12 years ago, and his efforts continue to be rewarded with rave reviews. Reward yourself and savor a few bottles with friends over a roasted rack of lamb.

Varietals: 100% Nebbiolo
Nose: Dried rose petals, cherries, leather and spice
Palate: Spiced cherries and plums, dried flowers and notes of leather linger long past the last sip
Alcohol: 13.5%
Appellation: Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

We Love This With

Although we would have a glorious time drinking Vigna Merenda nibbling on a hunk of blue cheese or a wedge of Pecorino, this wine has power over more than cheese. We suggest you pull out all the stops, and pair this with a centerpiece of rosemary rubbed rack of lamb, a side of truffle risotto and four or five of your nearest and dearest. Your dinner guests will be counting the ways they love you.
