‘The 2019 Barolo Brunate is a fleshy and hearty Nebbiolo with ample structure and staying power. The bouquet offers dark fruit, candied plum, blue flower, spice and rusty mineral. There is a hint of rosemary sprig or forest bramble as well. Brunate ends with almost metallic-like notes that are characteristic of this vineyard cru, and the wine has plenty of structure to carry it through more years of bottle age.2025-2048’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 97/100
‘Transparent crimson. Leafy and refreshing with masses of subtlety, pure fruit but a very dry finish – so much so that you'd be crazy to drink this before 2025. Still a baby. This is the only vintage in this entire vertical tasting of this wine (1997–2019) that I feel I couldn't drink now. 2028-2045’ – Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 18/20
‘An austere, tightly packed red, with plum, black cherry and violet flavors underlined by beefy tannins. The compact finish makes it difficult to see where this is going. Best from 2028 through 2048.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100

| 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. |
