Wine: Barolo
The 2008 Barolo is all elegance and finesse. Dried flowers, sweet herbs, tobacco and dried cherries are woven together in this utterly graceful, refined Barolo. The 2008 is a lithe, medium-bodied wine that captures the essence of the year. It won’t be this delicious forever, but the 2008 will drink beautifully for the next handful of years. Floral notes reappear on the delicate, saline finish. Marengo makes his Barolo from vineyards in Fontanazza, plus fruit he sources from Elio Altare’s Arborina. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.

Wine: Barolo Brunate
The 2008 Barolo Brunate is impressive. Layers of dark fruit, menthol, pine, spices and mint flow effortlessly from this impeccably graceful, polished Barolo. The 2008 Brunate is weightless yet deep in the way only Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo are capable. There is a ton of Brunate character here. Layers of fruit build to an explosive finish that saturates every corner of the palate. This is a fabulous showing from Marco Marengo. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.

Wine: Dolcetto d'Alba
The 2011 Dolcetto d’Alba is a big, rustic wine loaded with smoke, blackberries, violets and bacon fat. The wilder, more powerful side of Dolcetto comes through in this powerful effort. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
