Barolo, Brunate, 2020

justerini & brooks tasting note

A wine of substance and interest without verging into power. Nicely weighted red berries and limestone inflections with touches of menthol and violet. One of the top cru vineyards of Barolo, situated high up in the La Morra commune. Marengo's parcel of Brunate, situated at 350 metres altitude, has been owned by his family since 1903 and the vines average seventy years old. Aged in 15% new oak barriques for 24 months.

critic reviews

95/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A note of iron or crushed stone lifts from the bouquet of the M. Marengo 2020 Barolo Brunate. After that, it shows a very firm and compact fruit profile with dark currant, licorice root, rosemary and cola. The more austere side of this celebrated vineyard comes through nicely in this hot vintage. The fruit is quite bold but not overripe. It needs more time in bottle to flesh out. Production is 5,000 bottles.
