This barolo, made with Nebbiolo grapes from old vines of a single vineyard, called Fontanazza, and a very low yield in the heart of the Barolo area, in La Morra, is another great expression of the terroir and the ability of Giacomo Marengo in making fantastic wines. Produced only in thousand bottles per year, these are sold well before being bottled. This 2001 vintage, a very good vintage for barolo, is elegant and classy, with an intense garnet colour and perfumes of raspberry, dried flowers and berries. On the palate, is full, rich, complex and well balanced with silky tannins and a long caressing finish. This Barolo has won several national and international awards including the Bronze medal at the International wine challenge.

About the producer

Giacomo Marengo is a family run winery with vineyards in San Savino, between Siena and Arezzo, in the middle of the Chianti Aretini area and in La Morra, in the heart of the Barolo area where it owns a few hectares from which he produces a very limited quantity of his award winning Barolo and Merlot. The vineyards in Tuscany, located in the hills surrounding Arezzo and enclosed in a forest, produce the typical Tuscan grapes used in the making of the Chianti, Sangiovese and Canaiolo, and international grapes like Chardonnay and Sauvignon amongst the whites and Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon amongst the red used to make the other wines the estate produces. From planting the vines to the final bottling and ageing of the wines, everything is done in the winery by Emilio and his colleagues.
