Mario Marengo – Barolo Brunate – 2020
Barolo Brunate comes from the vineyard having the same name located in the commune of La Morra. As opposed to other plots, it benefits of more robust soils, rich in clay as well as sand giving wines more depth. The winery owns vineyards which are 70 years old. Very balanced wine where freshness and long persistence in the mouth meet. Great vineyard, great character.

Description
Mario Marengo is one of the most genuine wineries of the Langa wine scene. The winery is located in the commune of La Morra where it has very solid roots, in fact it was established in 1899, but only thanks to Mario and then today to his son Marco there was a qualitative leap in the approach in the vineyard and in the wines. The Marengo family manages 8 hectares of vineyards located in La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Barolo and Vezza d’Alba.
They prefer a clean cultivation in the vineyard, using manure as fertilizers and organic products, the main goal is not to damage the soil at all in order to try to extract the best from every micro-terroir that each small plot can give.
Wines made to perfection from Barbera to Baroli, thanks to Marco’s maniacal care, especially in the use of wooden barrels for aging! He absolutely prefers the use of new barrique, but well used, the wines must not taste of wood, but exalt the fruit and the soil. Few bottles for each wine, but made with a great hand and technique. I am sure of one thing, the Marengo family knows how to do its job.
