Barolo, Margheria, 2012

A typical Serralunga scent of cassis and liquorice, equally dark on the palate with flavours of bramble and blueberry fruit, infused with spices, stones and minerals, a broader -framed wine than Bricco Fiasco but there is great fruit precision and a certain roundness and softness to the dense structure. Pure, clear and moreish on the long finish. A prime south and south west facing 55 year old plot in the Serralunga d'Alba commune planted on white clay and limestone soils. Aged in the traditional way, for 28 months in large Slavonian oak casks - "botti."
