VALENTINA ABBONA OF MARCHESI DI BAROLO DISCUSSES THE 2018 VINTAGE

JamesSuckling.com Associate Editor Claire Nesbitt sits down with Valentina Abbona, the owner of Marchesi di Barolo, to talk about the 2018 vintage."2018 was quite a challenging vintage in terms of work to be carried out in the vineyards because ... we did have a lot of rain rain already in wintertime in the first months of the year and some rain at the beginning of summer," Valentina says. But, she adds, "this great water supply compensated for the very dry season that we had in 2017" and helped restore the soils, resulting in "really good expressions for all of the sites."
