Barbera d’Alba Vigna Pugnane |

Review
The M. Marengo 2019 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Pugnane is a lovely wine showing bright fruit and a nice aromatic intensity that shines from the glass. You get classic Barbera tones of fresh cherry, forest berry and dried blueberry. The quality of those fruit tones is sharp and well defined, and that's what gives this wine its edge. Vigna Pugnane concludes with bright acidity and a pretty mineral accent that is subtle, but that elegantly frames the fruit. Some 5,500 bottles were released.

Review
The 2016 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Pugnane hits all the right buttons. There is a fundamentally fresh and crunchy quality of fruit here that comes off as fresh plum or taut cherry picked right off the tree. The wine is aged in oak (most neutral barrel with a smaller percentage of new wood) for eight to ten months. The mouthfeel is broad and large with lasting intensity and delineated structure.

Review
This red is bright, exuding plum, blackberry, violet and earth aromas and flavors. Supple and balanced, with a long aftertaste supported by a dense matrix of tannins. Drink now through 2023.

Review
The M. Marengo 2022 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Pugnane has sweet powdery aromas that recall Jolly Rancher and watermelon jelly, and there are slightly cooked aromas of blackberry reduction sauce. The wine feels punchy and raw to the palate (with a high 15.5% alcohol content) that cedes to a smooth close. The wine is not terribly long, but it does award a lot of upfront pleasure.
