Why shop with us?
Marengo Barolo Riserva Brunate 2020 is a refined expression of Barolo from one of the appellation’s most prized crus, Brunate, known for combining power with aromatic detail and finesse. As a Riserva, it suggests a more traditional, age-worthy style designed to reward patience and showcase the depth of Nebbiolo from a historic hillside vineyard.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby core that will gradually open toward garnet tones with time. The nose is typically layered and complex, with notes of dried rose, cherry, orange peel, licorice, tar, and earthy spice, supported by subtle balsamic and herbal nuances.
On the palate, Barolo Riserva from Brunate is usually structured and serious, with firm but refined tannins, bright acidity, and concentrated red fruit framed by savory depth. The finish tends to be long and persistent, with clear aging potential; this is a wine that can continue evolving beautifully over many years, gaining more truffle, leather, and forest-floor complexity.
Production
Sourced from the Brunate cru, a celebrated hillside site in the Barolo zone, the wine benefits from limestone-rich marl soils and a position that typically delivers excellent balance between ripeness and structure. The vintage 2020 likely brought a careful harvest of fully ripened Nebbiolo grapes, with vinification aimed at preserving the variety’s aromatic precision and firm tannic backbone, followed by extended maturation to meet Riserva standards.
Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal cheek, roasted game, truffle risotto, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young, as this will help the wine open up and soften its structure.
