Marcorino is one of Cantina del Glicine's single-vineyard Barbarescos, produced from Nebbiolo grown in the Marcorino vineyard in Neive. Compared to the estate's Vignesparse, Marcorino is often described as the more fine and floral of the two crus, with elegant perfume and refined tannins. Traditional long maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak botti give it classic structure and aging potential. The 2012 vintage received Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award.
A Tre Bicchieri-winning cru prized for its fine, floral perfume — the more elegant counterpart to Glicine's structured Vignesparse.
