Review
Marengo's 2014 Barolo is an impressive entry-level bottling. Deep, layered and persistent in the glass, the 2014 has a lot to offer. The inclusion of fruit that often goes into Marengo's single-vineyard wines has boosted quality and resulted in an especially serious, brooding Barolo. I would give this another 6-12 months, or more, to allow the tannins to soften further. Marengo's 2014 is a clear overachiever. Don't miss it.

Review
Here's a solid expression of Nebbiolo with delicate, almost Burgundian lines. The 2014 Barolo gives off an initial impression of greater power and density. This effect does not last long because the more you contemplate the bouquet, the more you are made aware of its delicate and fine nature. There are blue fruit aromas backed by very pretty tones of crushed mineral, ash and pressed violets. The mouthfeel is broad and persistent, albeit less dense or rich compared to past vintages. Marco Marengo tells me that 2014 reminds him of the 1996 vintage, thanks to the wine's ability to maintain its natural freshness.

Pretty, with floral, cherry, strawberry, tobacco and tar flavors. Elegant and silky, with a grain to the firm tannins. Stays bright and long on the finish. Decant or age for at least three years. Best from 2021 through 2036.

Marco Marengo’s 2013 Barolo is lovely. Medium in body, gracious and lifted, the straight Barolo is a terrific wine in its peer group. Sweet red fruit and floral notes are front and center in a mid-weight, nuanced Barolo that speaks with a sense of energy. It is terrific entry-level offering from Marengo. Drink it over the next decade.

Focused aromas of dark berries, hot stones and a bouquet of flowers. Full-bodied yet focused and chewy with polished tannins and a medium finish. Pretty and reserved. Very 2015. Drink in 2022.

Review
The Marengo family has harnessed the sunshine and the soft warmth of this vintage with an expert touch. The 2015 Barolo (with fruit sourced from four different vineyards in La Morra) is a steady, rich and softly layered expression. The wine is slightly more accessible in the near term, yet there is enough fruit density and firmness to carry it forward in time. Marco Marengo is one of the most talented winemakers in La Morra, and I highly recommend this wine for those just getting to know the complex world of Nebbiolo. Some 7,400 bottles were made.

An elegant, perfumed style, boasting cherry, floral, tobacco and mineral aromas and flavors. Intense and long, with excellent balance, refinement and detail on the stony finish. Best from 2021 through 2035.

Dried cherries and herbs. Good tannins and moderate acidity for a 2014 Barolo. A very solid wine for the vintage that you can drink now or hold.

Marco Marengo's 2016 Barolo is forward, succulent and very easy to like. Sweet tobacco, orange peel and exotic spice notes give the straight Barolo lovely aromatic complexity to play off its mid-weight structure. This is such a pretty and expressive entry-level offering. Juicy, open-knit and inviting, but with good tannic grip beneath that gives the wine its sense of energy.

Aromas of cherry, incense and eucalyptus introduce this red, whose flavors evoke cherry, earth, iron and orange peel. It's firm and tightly packed, with a lingering finish and essence of fruit. Best from 2023 through 2040. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.

Review
The M. Marengo 2016 Barolo opens to an almost exotic character with little hints of freshly cracked white pepper, pressed violets, powdered licorice root and touches of clove and cinnamon that are playfully sprinkled throughout as this wine changes and evolves in the glass. The curious thing about this wine is that I am reminded of Nebbiolo, but not only. Those distinctive white pepper notes recall Pelaverga or maybe Freisa (another red grape of the Langhe area that, according to some researchers, could be related to Nebbiolo). This wine puts on quite a beautiful showing, and those savory or spicy notes are cleverly downplayed to give more prominence to the beautifully pure and brilliant fruit on hand. This wine represents a blend of fruit from various sites in La Morra (Serradenari, Boiolo, Fossati and Roncaglie), and together they paint a very authentic portrait of this Barolo village known for delicate, floral and softly graceful expressions of Barolo. Some 16,300 bottles were made.

The 2017 Barolo is a gorgeous wine. Bold, rich and ample in the glass, the Barolo possesses terrific depth and tons of character. Juicy dark cherry, plum, spice and licorice meld together in a forward, bold Barolo that will drink nicely with minimal cellaring. There is some edginess to the tannin, but this is nicely done.

Review
This wine draws its fruit from the Serradenari, Boiolo, Fossati and Roncaglie vineyards in La Morra. The M. Marengo 2017 Barolo achieves a level of immediate elegance and balance that was by no means easy to achieve in this challenging and hot vintage. The Marengo family has successfully harnessed the floral and more graceful side of the vintage fruit, with wild berry and powdered licorice. You do feel the youthful tannic tightness in this release, so give this wine a few extra years to unwind and soften. This was a release of 10,700 bottles.

This is a generous and rather soft 2017 with berry, toffee, chocolate and walnut character. Full-bodied and round-textured with a flavorful finish. Drink in 2023, but already very attractive.

Pretty cherry and currant aromas and flavors ply the dense texture in this lively, well-defined red, which shows excellent balance and energy, with floral, mineral and tobacco notes joining in and persisting on the complex finish. Best from 2024 through 2042. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.

Review
Marco Marengo manages little more than four hectares in La Morra. His Brunate is a wine to look out for, but in a dry vintage such as 2017, the blended wine from his passionate vintner is no less interesting. The grapes were sourced from Fontanazza, Brunate, Bricco delle Viole and Pugnane. It exhibits leafy lightness with orange peel and cocoa powder. The attack is firm, muscular yet ripe. Dense on the mid-palate, it has bracing acidity combined with eminently savory orange fruit. The finish is chiselled, with a good length of fruits and liquorice.

Marengo's 2018 Barolo is a classy, polished wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, mint, spice and sweet red berry fruit all grace this exquisite, nuanced Barolo from Marengo. Readers will find a delicious entry-level offering.

A straightforward, fresh red-berry nose. Medium-bodied. Racy feel to this, with very fine firm tannins and some good, fresh length. Best from 2023.

Review
The M. Marengo 2018 Barolo shows a lean and luminous appearance with delicate aromas of pressed rose, cassis, earth and a twist of orange peel. That citrusy note adds a lot of freshness and energy to the bouquet. The fruit blended here comes from the Serradenari, Boiolo, Fossati and Roncaglie vineyards in La Morra. Some 18,000 bottles were produced. Marco Marengo and his family have recently acquired a new vineyard in the Valmaggiore cru of Roero. A Langhe Nebbiolo wine will be produced with this fruit starting in 2021.

Aromas of fresh cherries and cranberries with crushed herb, citrus peel and dry earth undertones. Medium-bodied with polished and fine-grained tannins with dusty texture. Linear finish. Delicate and attractive. Drink after 2026.

The 2019 Barolo shows medium-dark concentration with a bouquet that includes interesting notes of dried flower, bramble, crushed stone, pomegranate and redcurrant. I notice that this vintage from the Marengo family, with their modern boutique winery just outside the town of La Morra, is a richer, bigger wine in 2019. It will require a few more years of bottle age for sure. The fruit used is a blend from the four vineyard sites farmed by this family in La Morra. Production is 10,000 bottles.

A pretty red, this boasts strawberry, cherry, currant and rose aromas and flavors. Firm and taut, with fine harmony. Should be approachable soon, and if not this at least has the depth and complexity of the best '19s. Charming and persistent. Best from 2025 through 2042. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.

Lovely candied strawberry, rose petal, citrus and sandalwood aromas follow through to a medium to full body with chewy and rich tannins and a vivid finish. Nicely done. Drink after 2027.
