(Wine Advocate Score 92+) The 2007 Barolo Brunate comes across as somewhat clenched and inexpressive in this vintage, while at the same showing less vineyard character than is typically the case. The 2007 is a reticent Brunate that only reveals its personality over a long period of time. I miss the delineation and nuance that informs the finest vintages yet there is enough perfume and inner sweetness to make me think the wine will find its balance with further bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. Marco Marengo’s 2007s were bombastic when I tasted them from barrel in late 2009, but not all the wines seem to have developed positively since then. The Brunate and Vecchie Vigne delle Brunate were mute and closed both times I tasted them from bottle.

A more modern style of Barolo which is more fruitier and has some new oak vanilla and cloves. Yet, the oak adds complexity rather than overpower the delicacy of Nebbiolo. Maceration with the skins for approx. 10 days depending on the vintage. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are natural: no yeast nor bacteria are added. The temperature in the cellar is raised in order to make the malolactic fermentation start. The wine matures for 24 months in French oak barriques (15% new) and it is bottled during the following summer.
