Described as “consistently outstanding” by Vinous critic Galloni, these top scoring 95 plus point 2020 Barolo selections from Mario Marengo are among the region’s best values, an array of vineyard expressive Barolo from entry level to Cru reflecting the characteristic “grace, elegance and understatement” of an outstanding Piedmont vintage according to critic Galloni and unbeatably priced whether choosing a favorite or mixing a case.
Boasting a history in the region dating back over a century, Marengo’s small 6-hectare estate includes old vine holdings in the Brunate and Bricco delle Viole Cru’s, its new cellars in Serradenari now run by fourth generation Marco and his wife Jenny along with their son Stefano. Crafted under the advisement of legendary consulting enologist Beppe Ca’Viola, the elegant 95 pt. 2020 Mario Marengo Barolo is a blend across the estate's four top La Morra vineyards, yielding “a very authentic portrait of this Barolo village known for delicate, floral and softly graceful expressions of Barolo” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner. Sourced from a steep one hectare parcel in one of Barolo’s highest-elevation vineyard Cru’s, the ethereal 97 pt. 2020 Marengo Barolo Bricco delle Viole comes from Nebbiolo vines averaging over 70 years of age, its intoxicating aromatic spiced fruit beautifully balancing powerful, supple tannins that’s “hard not to touch now” according to James Suckling while promising another decade or more of pleasurable drinking. Reflecting “the characteristic power and determination of the Brunate Cru” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, the full-bodied 97 pt. 2020 Mario Marengo Barolo Brunate was sourced from 1.2 hectares of Nebbiolo planted in 1942, offering dark and sultry fruit with earthy aromas and fresh minerality and solidly built for decades of evolution.
An array of artisan crafted gems produced in small amounts, Antonio Galloni of Vinous describes these 2020 Mario Marengo selections as “stylish Barolos that stand out for their supreme balance,” this offer a rare opportunity for Barolo collectors seeking outstanding value to stock the cellar with stunning Barolo for an incredible bargain price. |
