I love the core of ripe fruit here, with dark berries such as blueberries and bramble berries. Full bodied, with velvety tannins and a long intense finish. Classic style Barolo. Try it in 2014.

Mario Marengo’s Barolo offers spicy notes of clove and nutmeg at the back of bright berry, cola and coffee. The wine boasts generous fullness and depth thanks to its ripe tannins and long, silky feel. Drink in 5–10 years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Marengo’s 2007 Barolo offers up red berries, crushed flowers, licorice and spices in a classic, mid-weight expression of Nebbiolo typical of La Morra that is given just a touch more generosity than normal in this vintage. This soft, inviting Barolo is an ideal choice for drinking over the next few years. Floral notes add lift on the pretty finish. The Barolo is made from vineyards in Fontanazza and Bricco Viole, plus fruit from Elio Altare’s Arborina Marengo obtains in exchange for his Brunate. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017.

Marengo is one of the smallest estates in La Morra, but Marco Marengo has no inferiority complex. Marengo is privileged to be among the many more famous names who own vineyards in the “Brunate” cru, an immaculately positioned parcel of land that is considered to be one of the grand crus of the Langhe. The estate makes tiny quantities of modern-style Barolo from old vines in their tiny cellar on La Morra’s main street; in great years, these particularly well-balanced, ample, intense, tannic wines hint at truffles; they are perfectly rich and complete Baroli. 1999 is the third release of the Barolo "Bricco Viole", from a tiny cru in the Barolo township named for the violets that bloom there in springtime; the 1998 was rated 92 pts by the Wine Spectator. Elio Altare once told Marco that Marengo's vineyards were the "finest he had ever seen!" The slopes around Brunate are also particularly noted for superb Dolcetto
