Tasting notes
The 2018 Maria di Brün seems a bit flatter than 2019, with more forest undergrowth and less bright, vibrant fruit. There's still that balsamic freshness, however, and the palate displays its sweet fruit in a slightly more subdued manner, along with licks of volatile acidity, structural tannins and sweet spices.

From vintner Romano Marengo, the Ca’ Rome’ 2018 Barbaresco Maria di Brün reveals a dark and enriched personality with a strong 15% alcohol content. The wine shows determination and power with long-lasting aromas of plum, blackberry and dark licorice. These results are immediate and you won't need to wait too long to enjoy this vintage.
The 2018 Barbaresco Maria di Brun is a deep, effusive wine endowed with striking aromatic presence and a good deal of depth, too. Rose petal, spice, blood orange and cherries in liqueur give the 2018 its bright, lifted personality. I would give the 2018 a few years to soften. The presence of the fruit is quite appealing.
