Tasting notes
The M. Marengo 2021 Barolo presents a beautiful bouquet that is shaped by optimally ripe fruit and careful oak aging. The primary and secondary aromas complement each other beautifully, with no one side overpowering the other. In line with the character of the vintage, the quality of fruit is sharp and clear. There is cassis, dark currant, crushed stone and something sweet like candied orange peel. It sits firmly on the palate with tight tannins.

Transparent garnet. Light but subtle nose. Very approachable. Pure and simple. (JR)
The 2021 Barolo is a dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, incense, leather, licorice and dark spice add to an impression of somber gravitas. This rich, full-bodied Barolo offers tons of immediacy. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years.
