Risorseria Wine Atelier is the sales point and tasting room of Mauro Marengo’s winery, a small space where you can discover all the wines by the producer.
It is located in the historic center of the town of Novello, a destination and transit point for all the main itineraries to discover the great vines of Langhe, home to historic wineries and prestigious producers but also to small wineries with young producers facing the future of the local wine tradition.
Risorseria was created to be the space in which the Marengo family presents itself to the public through the divulgation of its philosophy towards wine and the territory.
Territory and tradition
The strong link with the territory and with tradition is the pillar of what the family has been believing in for three generations: respect for the peasant roots, attention to the enhancement of every smallest resource, plus the desire to improve every day.
A continuous search, in the wake of tradition, for reasoned innovation aimed at creating simple, elegant and democratic wines that are able, at the same time, to reflect the great hospitality and attention to quality that the Langhe offer to its visitors.
Inside the space you’ll see objects, books, furnishing accessories and works of art that want to involve the visitor in that small and welcoming family environment that brings with it all its values and peculiarities.
The Innovation of Turin Vermouth
The company now also produces “Il Patrono – S. Michele Arcangelo,” a white vermouth di Torino Superiore, and “Le Marne – S. Agata Martire,” a red vermouth di Torino Superiore.

A story that
begins in 1950
in Novello
Today the winery is managed by the third generation of the Marengo family
Grandfather Francesco began his activity in the 1950s.
After years of hard work and acquired experience in managing the vineyards and running the winery, the baton passes to Mauro, Francesco's son.
In 2014 Gabriella, Mauro's eldest daughter, joined the family business and, thanks to her studies, previous work experience (Gabriella is a management engineer), her great passion for wine and the territory, brought many innovations to the farm.
Here come new experiments related to the working method in the winery, the beginning of the process that leads to the positioning of the company on the local and foreign market and, above all, introduces the drive and enthusiasm necessary to launch the new generation with the support of siblings Elisa and Daniele.
Elisa, after studying between Genoa and Paris and the subsequent degree in art graphics, immediately took care of the company image, the enhancement of the brand and the labels for the new line of bottles, which will become a distinctive mark in a very short time.
All the labels of the wines produced contain an intimate narrative and spontaneous at the same time, indicating to the consumer a key to reading the product through the representation of natural elements or ethno-anthropological ones that belong to the family history or to the peculiarities of the Langa territory.
The third son Daniele, on the other hand, after graduating with honors in viticulture and oenology at the University of Turin, puts his studies to good use by supporting his father Mauro in all the vinification processes, design and management of the vineyards, introducing and experimenting with working methods with the introduction of new technical precautions aimed at constantly improving the quality of the wines in production.
The Wines
The Marengo family's crus: 6, of which 2 are vinified in Barolo
The history of the Mauro Marengo winery has its roots in the winemaking tradition: grandfather Francesco has been cultivating Nebbiolo grapes since the 1950s and, producing quality wine in small quantities, began making the first experiments in Barolo vinification as early as the 1970s.
The work of the Marengo family, in those years, was mainly focused on the production of great grapes which were partly delivered to Barolo producers and partly vinified for a local market.
Over the years, the farm has come to manage 14 hectares cultivated with Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Nascetta.
For years Mauro Marengo has been vinifying two Crus in Barolo: Terlo (municipality of Barolo) and Ravera (municipality of Novello). Other crus where the family owns vineyards are La Volta, Ciocchini-Loschetto, Corini-Pallaretta and Tarditi.
