Wine description

The Mario Marengo's Barolo "Brunate" Riserva is an elegant and classic expression of Barolo that comes from the famous Brunate cru in La Morra, where the Marengo family has been making wine since 1899. Brunate is known for giving Nebbiolo grapes great perfumes, it's never too tannic and always rich in sugars. This Barolo is made from a selection of the oldest vines of the Brunate vineyard.
