Tasting notes
Elegant and powerful expression with intense aromas of dark cherry, rose petals, and tar, layered with notes of tobacco, leather, and dried herbs. The palate reveals concentrated red fruit flavors, particularly sour cherry and cranberry, complemented by licorice and earthy truffle. Firm, noble tannins provide impressive structure, balanced by bright acidity. The finish is long and persistent, showcasing the classic Nebbiolo character with mineral undertones and hints of baking spices.

About this wine
Mario Marengo's Barolo Riserva DOCG stands as a benchmark expression of Piedmont's most prestigious red wine appellation. Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the renowned Brunate vineyard, this full-bodied red showcases the firm tannins and mineral complexity that define great Barolo. The wine balances red fruit aromatics with herbaceous notes, revealing the terroir's distinctive character with each sip.
Barolo DOCG represents the pinnacle of Italian viticulture, produced exclusively in the Langhe hills of Piedmont using traditional winemaking methods. Mario Marengo's dedication to quality and respect for the region's heritage is evident in every bottle. The extended aging process develops layers of sophistication, creating a wine of remarkable depth and structure that rewards patience and proper cellaring.
This is an ideal pairing for elegant entertaining, serve alongside beef, lamb, venison, or truffle-enriched dishes. The wine's complexity also complements rich pasta preparations, making it a versatile choice for fine dining and special occasions aboard yachts, in mountain chalets, or at villa dinner tables.
