2024 Marengo M. - Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC Valmaggiore (750ml)

The Marengo family has been making wine in La Morra since 1899, and they’re best known for their Barolo from the famed Brunate cru. This Nebbiolo comes from across the Tanaro River in Roero, from the historic Valmaggiore hill in Vezza d’Alba. It’s a south-facing amphitheater of nearly pure sand, so steep that everything has to be done by hand. Those sandy soils give Nebbiolo a more perfumed, lighter-framed style than the clay-rich Langhe. Expect bright cherry and red berries, rose petal, a touch of earth and fragrant herbs, with fine-grained tannins and a fresh, savory finish. All the Nebbiolo character, ready to drink now. Perfect with tajarin, mushroom risotto, or vitello tonnato.
