Producer Information

Ca’ is short for “Casa”: home. In fact, you wouldn’t take Romano Marengo’s for a winery at first. From the road, the house seems to exude a quiet air of comfort and family life. It is right at the top of a Langhe hill, surrounded by an endless vista of gently sloping country; a beautiful, restful home to grow children in, or to grow old in. Then you walk up to the villa, turn the corner to its southern faade, and you see them. Terraced Nebbiolo vines, beautifully kept. The cool, clean air around you tingles with that brisk, zesty smell of must and oak you find wherever great wines are made: the Langhe hill we stand on is called Rabaj, Barbaresco’s historical cru! Here, after three decades of selecting fine wines, Romano set up a winery of his own in 1980, styling the range himself, and taking production to a yearly average of 2,500 cases. The vineyards’ total surface is now a little over 12 acres, partly located at Barbaresco, partly at Serralunga d’Alba, in Barolo territory. In spite of the winery’s steady increase in size and importance, when you speak to Signor Marengo and his family (notably son Giuseppe, an oenology graduate, and daughter Paola, in charge of p.r. and marketing), you will find that first impression of Ca’ Rome’ – its quiet, country-home air, made for leisure and family life – had some truth in it, after all… You feel Romano grew his children and his wines with the same sterling discipline, the same sense of excellence and impeccable standards.
