Brunate wordt door velen terecht beschouwd als een van de beste wijngaarden in Barolo, misschien zelfs als de allerbeste! Dieper en compacter dan de Bricco delle Viole, maar ook breder, met een intens smakenpalet en de zeer krachtige structuur die typisch is voor de Brunate, en een zeer lange afdronk. Een absoluut hoogtepunt met nog een heel lang leven voor de boeg. Opgenomen in de TOP 100 van 2016 door International Wine Report op positie 49!!!

“The 2014 Barolo Brunate takes us to the more structured and robust side of the Nebbiolo spectrum. The Brunate cru in La Morra is known for its deeply saturated, enriched and elegant wines. This expression from Marco Marengo makes sure that a healthy dose of sheer elegance is part of that formula. The lighter and more ethereal character of the cool 2014 vintage also comes through. The results shown here are polished and finely textured, with blue fruit and dried currant followed by tar, licorice and spice. The finish is long and silky with excellent tannic management.” RP

“Marco Marengo's 2014s are terrific. The entry-level Barolo sets a high bar, and the vineyard designates take things up from there. The 2014 Barolo Brunate is another powerful, imposing wine from Marco Marengo. Deep and pliant through the middle, with a huge core of fruit, the 2014 has much to offer. Black cherry, plum, lavender, leather and smoke infuse the deep, resonant finish. It will be interesting to see how the 2014 ages. At this stage, it clearly holds quite a bit of promise. In 2014, there is no Riserva, all the fruit was used for this, the straight Brunate bottling.” Vinous
