Tasting notes
Always one of my favorites in this portfolio, the M. Marengo 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole manages a beautiful balance between intensity and elegance. The wine is not timid, nor does it reveal all its secrets at once. It offers a slow-motion performance of redcurrant, crushed flower and sweet violet. As always, this Barolo produces a floral signature that makes it unique. That delicate characteristic is especially defined and vibrant in this vintage.

Pale ruby. Heady nose with notes of undergrowth. Refreshing but with a little note of sweet oak at present. Leathery finish. Wait awhile! (JR)
The 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is an especially deep, potent wine from this site. Red-toned fruit, pomegranate, blood orange, iron and chalk are all dialed up in this intense, bold Barolo from Marengo. There is certainly no shortage of stuffing here.
