Marengo Barolo Bricco delle Viole 2018 Bottle size: 750ml
Italy, Piedmont
R865
‘The 2018 Barolo Bricco delle Viole (with 6,000 bottles made) opens to a medium rich appearance followed by very distinct aromas of wild rose, grilled herb, mint and freshly milled white pepper. The wine's texture is lean but fine-tuned and elegant. These qualities shape a long and polished mouthfeel. Fruit comes from a one-hectare parcel at a breezy 420 meters in elevation. 2024-2040’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 94/100
‘The 2018 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is weightless, ethereal and classic in feel, as Barolos from this site so often are. Crushed flowers, mint, sweet red cherry, anise and rose petal are nicely lifted. Marco Marengo has done a nice job in taming the typically incisive Bricco dell Viole tannins. This is beautifully done. 2022-2033’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100

| Producer information | The Marengo family is a small producer based in La Morra, Piedmont and has been producing Barolo since 1899. Their 1.5 hectare block of Brunate, planted in 1950, represents an incredible one-quarter of their vineyard holdings. The farm is currently run by Marco, after his father, Mario passed away in 2001. The philosophy of Marco is to respect what the vineyards give him, as much as possible. The work in the vines is more important to him than the work in the cellar. |
