The history of our winery is that of our family, the Marencos, firmly rooted in Dogliani, a village in the Langhe that has always been linked to viticulture.
From great-grandfather Francesco to grandfather Luigi, from my parents Aldo and Bruna to myself, Claudio, the long peasant tradition of attachment to the land has never been interrupted.
Always looking for the best exposures for the vineyards and constant care for the cultivation of the rows, without resorting to unnecessary forcing and polluting treatments, since 1991 we were among the first producers in the area to obtain the organic suitability certification now issued by Bioagricert.
The organic approach is the result of our agricultural and production philosophy which favors the relationship with the territory and nature and, more generally, with the authenticity of foods.
Our company currently owns 25 hectares of land, 12 of which are dedicated to vines (Dolcetto, Barbera, Favorita, Nebbiolo, Nascetta, Merlot), in total we produce around 70-80,000 scrupulously controlled bottles every year.

REVIEW
O. V. 2 recensioni ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Посетила винодельню в ноябре этого года.
Прежде всего понравилось как меня встретил винодел Клаудио и его семья.Они показывали виноградники,рассказывали историю создания винодельни,а так же про сорты винограда из которых производится их вино.
Затем была дегустация с невероятно вкусными закусками и вином,которое мне очень понравилось.
Хотелось бы так же отметить клиентоориентированность и высокий уровень обслуживанния.
Из вина очень понравилась Parlapa,яркий и насыщенный вкус.

Während unserem Urlaub in Dogliani haben wir uns spontan entschieden zum ersten mal eine Weinverkostung bei einem regionalen Weinhersteller zumachen. Unsere Wahl fiel auf die Weinresidenz der Familie Marenco. Jahrzehnte Erfahrung der Weinherstellung auf Biobasis , familiäre Atmosphäre und atemberaubende Landschaft sorgten dafür, dass wir unsere Wahl keine Sekunde anzweifelten. Dank Claudio , dem Weinhersteller in der dritten Generation, und seiner wundervoller Frau Oksana,verlief die Verkostung der Weine wie in einem Kreis der guten Freunde. Die Residenz der Familie lässt dich den Alltag, den alltäglichen Stress, digitalisierte Welt um uns herum komplett vergessen und versetzt einen in die Vergangenheit “Italia traditionale” pur. Ich bin in einer Großstadt aufgewachsen , aber die Landschaft und die berauschende Ausrichten über die Weinberge haben mir persönlich ein Gefühl der Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit gegeben. Unsere kleine Tochter hat sich auch mega wohl gefühlt.Die Hühner, Hasen, Hunde und die Katzen haben einen kleinen Streichelzoo ersetzt.
Ich bin kein Weinliebhaber und in solchen Regionen von Italien muss man Wahrscheinlich Wochen verbringen, um sich entscheiden zu können, welches Wein nun am besten für einen schmeckt, aber als Gesamterlebniss unter anderem für eine Familie mit Kleinkindern ist der Besuch der Residenz Marenco auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert und hinterließ eine wunderschöne Erinnerungen
