Marengo Barbera d'Alba Vigna Pugnane 2024

Marengo Barbera d’Alba Vigna Pugnane 2024 is a vibrant Piedmontese red that combines the naturally lively character of Barbera with the depth gained from extended oak maturation. Produced by the historic Marengo estate, whose winemaking roots date back to 1899, it offers an expressive balance of ripe fruit, refreshing acidity and polished structure.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright ruby-red colour. Its aromatic profile is led by ripe red fruit, complemented by fragrant herbs and a subtle, delicate spice character. On the palate, it is soft and flavourful, with Barbera’s signature crisp acidity bringing energy and balance to its structured texture. The finish is long, fragrant and pleasantly persistent, with the fruit and spice notes carrying through. Enjoyable now for its freshness and generous fruit, the Vigna Pugnane also has the structure to develop further in bottle. Under suitable cellar conditions, it may mature gracefully for up to ten years, gaining additional aromatic complexity and integration.

Production
The Barbera grapes are carefully selected to preserve their natural intensity and freshness. The vineyards occupy favourable hillside positions in Castagnole Monferrato, where the exposure helps promote concentration and aromatic depth in the grapes. Following fermentation, the wine matures for 19 months in oak barriques, a period that enhances its complexity and structure while maintaining precision and balance.

Food & Serving
This Barbera is a natural match for richly flavoured Piedmontese dishes, roasted and grilled meats, braised preparations and mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C. Decant for approximately one hour before serving, particularly when enjoying a younger bottle, to allow the wine’s fruit, spice and oak nuances to open fully.

Producer
Marengo Mario’s historic winery project dates back to 1899 and is founded on a commitment to selecting privileged vineyard exposures in Piedmont. The estate’s Vigna Pugnane reflects this focus on hillside sites and concentrated, characterful fruit. Under the guidance of oenologist Giuseppe Caviola, the wine is matured in barriques for 19 months, bringing together regional tradition and a refined, age-worthy style.
