barbaresco
Marcorino
This MGA, among the smallest of Neive, along with San Giuliano, Fausoni and Currà, extends for the most part along a slope that is open and bright – though not easy to observe in its entirety. Despite the presence of some other prestigious producers, the only winery that can boast a long tradition in the pure vinification of this cru is Cantina del Glicine. Whether it’s due to the winemaking philosophy or the nature of the soil, the wine from Marcorino exemplifies stylized elegance.
