Really beautiful and so clear and vivid. Plum, peach, strawberry and stone aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with clear and poised fruit and fine and polished tannins and a refined and crafted finish. Already so beautiful to taste (drink) but there’s such balance and presence in the wine. Drink after 2028 but hard not to touch now.

Notes of red berries, crushed violets, cedar, wet moss and forest wood. Medium- to full-bodied, meaty and compact with firm and slightly chewy tannins, making the wine steady and taut while still showcasing the vivid ripe red berry character. Lingering finish. Try after 2026.

A rich red, with cherry and blackberry flavors framed by toasty oak. This has hints of eucalyptus and tar that are buried for now, yet should become more expressive as time goes on. Shows lovely texture and harmony. Best from 2026 through 2043. 400 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

This is a wine I always love, thanks to its distinctive grace and floral notes of wild rose and lilac. The M. Marengo 2019 Barolo Bricco delle Viole shows more heft and concentration in this growing season, and it's visible in its darker color. The bouquet is also compact and more robust at the same time with cassis, light spice and candied orange peel. Mineral dustings make for an elegant end note, and the tannins show the firmness of youth. Production is 6,000 bottles.

Spicy, featuring black cherry, blackberry, violet, eucalyptus, iron and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Straddles the line between elegance and intensity, with firm, sinewy tannins guarding the finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 400 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
