This wine is transparent and complex, with an intoxicating floral profile enhanced by mint, red currants and sweet spices. The wine is full-bodied, fruity and savory, with a powerful structure of firm, grainy tannins and ripe, refreshing, lifted acidity. Try after 2027.

Always one of my favorites in this portfolio, the M. Marengo 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole manages a beautiful balance between intensity and elegance. The wine is not timid, nor does it reveal all its secrets at once. It offers a slow-motion performance of redcurrant, crushed flower and sweet violet. As always, this Barolo produces a floral signature that makes it unique. That delicate characteristic is especially defined and vibrant in this vintage.
