Mario Marengo Barolo Brunate Riserva 2011 3L

Mario Marengo Barolo Brunate Riserva 2011 in 3L format is a deeply expressive and luxurious interpretation of Nebbiolo from the famed Brunate cru in La Morra. The 2011 vintage delivers both generosity and structure, resulting in a wine that is powerful yet polished, with the added ageing potential and slow evolution that comes with magnum-equivalent format.

The nose is rich and layered, showing rose petal, wild berries and black cherry alongside notes of cacao, vanilla, spice and subtle earthy complexity. With air, further aromas of leather, truffle and dried flowers emerge, adding depth and nuance.

On the palate, it is dense and mouthfilling, with dark hedgerow fruit, bramble, kirsch, cinnamon, earth and mocha. The texture is smooth and voluptuous, supported by firm but well-integrated tannins and enough acidity to maintain freshness and drive.

Long, rich and persistent, this Riserva balances power with elegance, finishing with savoury complexity and lingering spice. The 3L format enhances its harmony and ageing trajectory, making it a standout Barolo for extended cellaring and celebratory occasions.
