Barolo Mario Marengo 2021
The Barolo by Mario Marengo is presented as an excellent representative of the category, all played on balance and floral finesse. From the cru of La Morra, after two years of aging in barrique, it offers aromas of cherry, small red fruits, jam, and hints of light oak. Fine, harmonious, and well-balanced in the mouth, subtle and smooth, with slight tannins on the finish. Enjoyable right from the start!
The Barolo by Mario Marengo is a label that perfectly reflects the refined and elegant character that traditionally characterizes the wines from the territory of La Morra. The presence of soils with a good percentage of sand makes the calcareous-clay marls lighter and less compact. The Nebbiolo is less tannic and powerful but finer and more delicate. This is a label produced according to the oldest tradition of the Langhe, with a blend of grapes from various vineyards. A choice that allows every year to offer wines of good balance and harmony, thanks to the possibility of choosing how to create the cuvée, in relation to the characteristics of the vintage.
The Barolo wine by Mario Marengo is the expression of the best tradition of the Langhe territory. The winery is located in Serradenari, one of the highest hills of the Barolo denomination, and cultivates vineyards in the prestigious crus of Brunate and Bricco delle Viole, always known for the excellence of their wines. The style of the labels refers to tradition, with particular attention to vineyard work and the production of wines that can tell, through the glass, the best qualities of the extraordinary territory of the Langhe. The area of La Morra, in particular, features soils with a higher percentage of sand, which give the Barolo a gentler and less tannic profile. These are wines that seduce mainly for their delicacy and harmony of aromas and are already pleasant when young, without having to wait for long aging in the bottle.
The Marengo Barolo produced by the Piedmontese winery of Mario Marengo is a child of the splendid territory of the Langhe. The grapes come from various vineyards in the municipality of La Morra and are sent for fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with maceration on the skins for about ten days. At the end of the aging period in wood, the wine presents itself with an intense garnet red color, with brilliant ruby reflections. The olfactory profile recalls floral scents of violet, notes of berries, and slight woody hints. On the palate, it is elegant, with fine tannins, a mid-palate with delicate and subtle aromas, that leads the sip towards a harmonious, persistent, and refreshing finish. The ideal Barolo for those seeking the expressive finesse of the great wines of the Langhe.
