Wine Advocate (Monica Larner): “With fruit from La Morra, the 2012 Barolo opens to ripe fruit tones of cherry and blackberry backed by spice, leather and molasses. The wine exhibits big bones, but the style is traditional and classic nonetheless. The mouthfeel offers silky tannins and a tight textural presence.“ 91/100

Vinous (Antonio Galloni): “Marco Marengo’s 2012 Barolo is so fruity it almost tastes like a barrel sample. The 2012 gains a bit of depth and persistence with time in the glass, yet it remains a forward, supple Barolo that is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.”

Jancis Robinson: “Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Quite tight nose with brooding concentration. Fine spicy fruit on the palate, with proper depth and bags of powdery tannins. Really appetising and already approachable. Long!” 16,5/20

James Suckling: “Fantastic aromas of plum, ripe strawberries, flowers and Country cherries. Full body, firm and super silky tannins and a very flavorful finish. Shows structure and beauty.”
