Mario Marengo - Barolo Brunate Riserva produced in the vineyard of the same name in La Morra only in the best vintages with a production limited to 1000 bottles.

Mario Marengo – Barolo Brunate Riserva – 2018

Only in the best vintages the winery produces Barolo in the Riserva version in very few quantities, carrying out the longest aging in the cellar of 6 years. About 1,000 bottles are produced from the oldest plants in the Brunate vineyard in La Morra, aged at least 24 months in small barrels, some of which are new, and nearly 4 years in the bottle. Thanks to the Brunate vineyard’s complex soils of dark sandy marl, and full southern exposure, the Nebbiolos enjoy good structure prone to aging over 25 years. Full Barolo with great body and character without lacking elegance and finesse. A Bomb.

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.
