A Barolo with ripe berry, spice and some cedar and chocolate. Dried flowers and some asphalt, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Very classic structure. Shows freshness and solidity. Needs a few years to open. Try after 2024.

This wine draws its fruit from the Serradenari, Boiolo, Fossati and Roncaglie vineyards in La Morra. The M. Marengo 2017 Barolo achieves a level of immediate elegance and balance that was by no means easy to achieve in this challenging and hot vintage. The Marengo family has successfully harnessed the floral and more graceful side of the vintage fruit, with wild berry and powdered licorice. You do feel the youthful tannic tightness in this release, so give this wine a few extra years to unwind and soften. This was a release of 10,700 bottles.
Drink Date: 2024 – 2037
