Mario Marengo – Barolo Bricco delle Viole – 2018

Barolo Bricco delle viole comes from the homonymous vineyard located between the commune of La Morra and Barolo, with soils rich in both white sand and clay giving just two souls to the wines, which play on both delicate aromas and a crisp mouthfeel and lively tannins.

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.
