Description
What kind of wine it is
Marengo Barolo expresses the authentic character of the Barolo denomination through Nebbiolo grapes. It appears a pale ruby red to the eye, while the aromatic profile reveals a bouquet characterised by notes of cinchona and candied orange peel, intertwined with hints of baked olives, bitter cocoa, fern and eucalyptus. On the palate, it offers a dense and profound sip, delivering a balanced finish between richness and savouriness.
Where it comes from
This red wine is born in Piedmont, rooted in the territories of La Morra and along the hills of Castagnole Monferrato. The Marengo winery, founded at the end of the nineteenth century, tends its rows with meticulous vineyard work. The production maintains a deep connection with its area of origin, offering a faithful expression of the Piedmontese terroir capable of ensuring remarkable longevity.
How it is produced
The vinification involves a careful maturation period, with two years of ageing in barrels. To best appreciate its aromatic finesse, it is recommended to decant for one hour at a serving temperature between eighteen and twenty degrees. At the table, it creates an excellent gastronomic synergy with intense dishes, enhancing tajarin with truffle, veal with mushrooms and game.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1899, the Marengo winery cultivates the finest Nebbiolo grapes to create a prestigious Barolo DOCG. Under the guidance of oenologist Giuseppe Caviola, this excellent Piedmontese red is aged for 2 years in barrique, before being bottled directly at the La Morra estate. Awarded 95 points by James Suckling, the 2022 vintage stands out for its dense and profound character, ensuring a masterful balance and an extraordinary longevity of 10-15 years.

In 1986 his son Massimo joined him, continuing the company's improvement work. The company has always believed in the potential of Ruchè, an autochthonous vine cultivated since ancient times in Castagnole.
Today, the company cultivates 5 hectares of vineyards in the best hillside positions of Castagnole, where the wine is aged and bottled. Read more
