Vigneto Mario Gorza

Mario Marengo

Vigneto Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba Nebbiolo 2019

Patience and Protein.
Upon opening, this is a tannic beast. Decanted 1/2 hr or so. But... the sausage w Swiss chard and Marcella’s tomatoe sauce over polenta brought out its beauty.
N: Tar, underbrush, cola, roses, iron, dank minerality.
P: Really needs protein. Dark fruits, long,
Not rich but sappy, snappy finish. Pine forest, black cherry.

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Great time with the winemakers Benedetta and Mario at their vineyard. The 2015 is going to be great in 2020 or 2025. This is the "dad" of the three wines they make at this family owned micro vigneto (13000 bottles /year) — 8 years ago
