justerini & brooks tasting note

More mineral and energetic than the sweet and floral Bricco Fiasco. Lifted bright red fruits mixed with cleansing savoury elements. Wild strawberry fruit infused with violet and offset by more savoury notes of chalk and salt. The refreshing, palate-cleaning minerality marries well to the ripe, polished Azelia style. From 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 botti.

critic reviews

95/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

You can taste the softness and richness of the warm vintage in the 2015 Barolo Margheria. The wine offers dark fruit flavors and lots of rich, plump fruit at the back. This is a softly textured wine that can also be consumed in the near or medium term. This single-vineyard Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba ages in botti grandi for 36 months. The vines are 60 years old, and the soils are rich with limestone clay. Some 6,200 bottles were made.

94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2015 Barolo Margheria shows the textural breadth of Serralunga in its compelling interplay of succulent, layered fruit and bright, soil-driven tones, with mineral inflections that add layers of complexity. Sage, tobacco, cedar, rose petal, menthol, anise and dried flowers fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. All the elements are nicely balanced. In 2015 the Margheria is all class.
