    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Marco Marengo, Barolo, Brunate, 2010

    Oddly more immediate than the Bricco Viole though clearly more complex too. This wins you over immediately with its powerful, racy intensity. Vibrant flavours of red fruits, sweet mulberry and autumn fruit mixed with touches of earth smoke and cinnamon. A Brunate that shows tremendous depth, character and of course typically large-framed structure yet with a distinct finesse to the texture . Superb. One of the top Cru vineyards of Barolo, situated high up in the La Morra commune. A touch more new oak is used for this (40%) than the Bricco Viole because of the extra power of the Brunate wines, however the extra influence of oak on the flavour itself is minimal.

    The 2017 Barolo Brunate shows why this is such a highly-regarded site. Powerful and deep, the 2017 has enough fruit and pedigree to keep the formidable tannins in check. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, leather, licorice and menthol gain volume as the 2017 opens in the glass. This brooding Barolo needs time in bottle, but it is pretty compelling, even in the early going.
