i. Biography
Principal manager and winemaker at Azienda Agricola Marengo Mario in La Morra, Marco Marengo moves between the administrative and the agricultural with the same steady hand, guiding both the management side and the cellar work. His profile is rooted firmly in one place, tied to the same azienda agricola named in his current role, and that continuity gives his work a sense of quiet focus: a rhythm built less on spectacle than on patient attention, season after season, to what the vineyard and cellar will allow. Marengo’s tasting language reflects that same clarity. He speaks without ornament, yet what he says carries the particular confidence of someone who knows how the year has shaped the wines in the glass. “It was not too hot, a regular season. Fresh wines with good balance, built around elegance.” In that one assessment, the character of the wines is sketched with economical precision: freshness leading the way, balance holding everything together, elegance as the governing idea. He adds, with the same directness, “The tannins are young but the wines are pleasurable to taste.”

Signature
Marco's signature wines include Barolo Brunate, Barolo Bricco Viole, Barolo Bricco delle Viole, Nebbiolo d’Alba, and Dolcetto d’Alba. Together they suggest a range that moves with ease across the house’s identity, from the poised structure implied by the Barolo bottlings to the more immediate appeal of Nebbiolo d’Alba and Dolcetto d’Alba. The common thread, at least in Marengo’s own terms, is not heaviness or showiness but a style that values freshness, balance, and the kind of drinkability that makes a wine feel open from the first sip.
In Their Words “It was not too hot, a regular season. Fresh wines with good balance, built around elegance.” “The tannins are young but the wines are pleasurable to taste.”
