The 2017 Marianot Garblet Barolo by Giorgio Sordo is a delightful expression of Nebbiolo, earning a commendable 92 points from James Suckling. Hailing from the prestigious Barolo region, this wine showcases the classic aromas of dried roses and tar, intertwined with notes of ripe cherry and a hint of earthy complexity. On the palate, it unfolds beautifully with layers of dark fruit, balanced acidity, and finely integrated tannins, making it both approachable now and age-worthy for years to come. This Barolo is perfect for a cozy dinner with rich, slow-cooked meats or a gathering featuring hearty pasta dishes. With its quality and character, it’s a smart buy for the quality, especially given its original retail price of $60.
