"Classic fruity play with spice and a smoky note, then cherry; fine drinking flow with sweet fruit, length and an animating delicacy in the finish."(Weinwisser)  Drinking maturity: Now-2035

The grapes for the Luca Marenco Barolo 2016 DOCG come from two different vineyards in the two neighboring municipalities of Barolo and Novello. During October of each year, the grapes are harvested by hand and very carefully for the further use selected. The grapes are then destemmed and gently pressed at Luca's winery in Novello. The next step is fermentation, which takes place in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank.

The wine is then aged in large Slovenian oak barrels for 18 months. After six months of bottle storage, the Barolo finally goes on sale. This wine has complex aromas, is rich in extracts, dense and powerfully woven on the palate with firm tannins, pleasant acidity and a good length in the finish.

The Barolo goes very well with game and red meat, but also with risotto and mature cheese. It is ready to drink immediately and for the next 15 years.

The producer: Luca Marenco

If you are interested in discovering a new young producer producing excellent Barolo and Nebbiolo wines then you have come to the right place. Luca Marenco is your man.

Luca Marenco, with his winery in Novello and Barolo, belongs to the new generation of winemakers making waves in Piedmont!

Luca inherited plots of vineyards in these two Barolo regions from his family, who used to sell the grapes. Now he has invested in the winery itself, replanting some of the old vineyards and is now the proud owner of 10 hectares, most of which is planted with Nebbiolo vines.

Luca is guided by the principles of sustainable production and biological transformation, combining innovation and tradition. He is a pioneer in the use of eco-friendly corks developed in Finland and constantly adopts new technologies that allow management of the vineyards with minimal impact on the soil and the environment.
