WINE MAKING PROCESS
The M. Marengo Barolo Brunate 2020 is crafted using traditional winemaking methods. Fermentation is initiated with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks, followed by an extended maceration period of approximately three weeks to maximize extraction. The wine then matures for 24 months in French oak barrels, utilizing a combination of barriques and larger formats, with a portion of new oak. Following barrel aging, the wine rests for an additional six months to two years in bottle before release. The estate employs organic and sustainable farming practices in its vineyards.
