VAT & Duty PaidThis item is being kept in professional storage but VAT & Duty has already been paid which is not refundable. If you want home delivery for this item to the same country in which the taxes have been paid, you will not be required to pay further tax on this item.
Taxes may need to be paid in addition if you are transferring it to another country for local home delivery where tax has not already been paid.
The 2017 Barolo Marenca is quite understated in this vintage, and not the powerhouse it can be, although that core of strength, that is its key signature, is very much present. Bright red fruit, dried herbs, rose petal, mint and orange peel open with a bit of coaxing. The 2017 is quite a departure from what Pira fans are used to, and yet there is plenty to like.
